This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Doesn't seem to be mentioned by STEDT, and not mentioned by Luce 1981. Could this be a semantic extension of the "appearance" sense in Etymology 1, via "put on an appearance" > "mimic one's appearance" > "mimic one's speech"?”
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Doesn't seem to be mentioned by STEDT, while Luce gives Old Chinese容 (OC *loŋ, “appearance; to contain”) as a cognate.[1]
It is unclear if the "false" sense is etymologically connected to the "semblance" sense, though MED groups them together, and "superficial appearance" and "deception" are linked together in many languages; for a semantic parallel, compare Englishfacade.”
