Etymology

Two theories:

• Perhaps from a Western Oïl language such as Gallo, Angevin, or Poitevin-Saintongeais.
• Perhaps from a word in Antilles French or another western dialect of West Indian French, meaning "sheave".

In either case, either related to or influenced by lien (“link”).

This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
