Etymology 1

[edit]

Inherited from Old French loche, further origin uncertain, possibly from Vulgar Latin *laukka (loach), which could be from Gaulish *leuca (loach, slug), also attested as the feminine name Leuca, from leux (bright, light), a reference to slugs' bright appearance, the fish later being associated due to similarities to the slug.[1]
