§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, Welsh llachar (“bright”). Replaced Middle English leohtfet, lihtfat (“lamp, sconce, candlestick”), from Old English lēohtfæt (“lamp, lantern, torch, light”, literally “light-vat, light-vessel”).
