Etymology 2

From Proto-Indo-European *leyǵʰ- (to lick). Cognate with Lithuanian laižýti, Proto-Slavic *līzàti, Latin lingō whence cunnilingus; Dutch lekker (tasty), English lick.

Whether the Rigvedic forms with initial र्- (r-) belong here has been doubted, with a tentative alternative translation as "to reach out to" or "to delight in".[1]
