limpor

Latin

Alternative forms

• lymphor

Etymology

Probably related to limpidus (“clear, transparent”), from an analogous formation: languidus : languor = limpidus : limpor.

However, lymphor might be an earlier form; in that case, the term would originate from a blend of lympha (“clear river-water”) and liquor (“a clear liquid”).
