leccare

Etymology
From a (compare 🇨🇬), itself probably from. See 🇨🇬 for more.

Alternatively from an early contraction of, denasalized from , from 🇨🇬. This is based on the analogy with (whence ), generally derived from, from. However, the last-mentioned etymology (while commonly accepted) is not inevitable and at any rate requires only two theoretical steps, rather than three.

Verb
