Etymology
Ultimately from Old High German līhzeihhan, from Proto-West Germanic *līkataikn, from *līk (“body”) + *taikn (“mark, sign”). The form was variously reinterpreted. In Dutch litteken as “member mark”, in archaic German Leimzeichen as “glue mark” (from the “gluing” of the wound). The Luxembourgish is probably an assimilated form of the latter.
