Etymology

Unclear. Akin to the synonymous Armenian լոկոն (lokon), North Levantine Arabic لَاقُونَة (lāqūne), لَاُقُومَة (lāqūme), لُقُونَة (luqūne, “a kind of putty from resin and bricks, or from not utterly slaked lime, olive oil and cotton”). Given the semantic development of جُرْن (jurn) “basin, trough for liquid to retreat” → “mixing tub, mortar box, bin where plaster is compounded”, this may be a remnant of the plural لُكُون (lukūn) or لُقُون (luqūn) of Arabic لَكَن (lakan), لَقَن (laqan, “washbasin”), or more likely an Aramaic diminutive formation of the same word like طَلْمُوسَة (ṭalmūse, “talmouse”).
