lavabrum
Latin
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Perhaps inherited from Proto-Indo-European *lówh₃trom with analogical remodeling after lavō (“to wash, bathe”) and a secondary recharacterization with -brum. However, it is also possibly an innovative Latin formation from lavō + -brum.[1]
Compare Gaulish lautron, Old Irish loathar (< Proto-Celtic *lowatrom), Proto-Germanic *lauþrą, Ancient Greek λουτρόν (loutrón) and Mycenaean Greek *𐀩𐀺𐀵𐀫 (*re-wo-to-ro /*lewotron/) (< Proto-Hellenic *lewotrón). Compare the Celtic-origin place-names Lavatrae and Laudradum.
