Etymology

From Middle English lampe, from Old French lampe ‎(“lamp, light”), from Latin lampas ‎(“torch, lamp, light”), from Ancient Greek λαμπάς ‎(lampás, “torch, lamp, beacon, light, meteor”), from Proto-Indo-European *lāp- ‎(“to shine”). Cognate with Lithuanian lópė ‎(“light”), Welsh llachar ‎(“bright”). Replaced Middle English leohtfet, lihtfat ‎(“lamp, sconce, candlestick”), from Old English lēohtfæt ‎(“lamp, lantern, torch, light”, literally “light-vat, light-vessel”).
