Etymology
Inherited from Middle French limignon, lumignon, from Old French limeignons (“candle-wick”), eventually from Late Latin licinium, from ellychnium (“lamp-wick”), from Ancient Greek ἐλλύχνιον (ellúkhnion, “lamp-wick”). The intermediate forms perhaps received influence from Medieval Latin lūminiōnem (“lighting”) (influenced by lūmen (“light”)) or from Vulgar Latin *lūcinium (influenced by lūx (“light”), compare Italian lucignolo).
