Etymology 1

edit

Most likely a formation after lëndë (timber), similarly to the connection of vis with vend.[1] Alternatively, Orel suggests a borrowing from Proto-Slavic *lěsъ (forest, woods), whence Serbo-Croatian lȇsле̑с, Bulgarian лес (les), although in this case one would expect the auslaut to have gone palatalization. Because of the /-i-/ < *-ě-, the Slavic dialect is identified as Ikavian.[2][3]

Etymology 1

edit

Inherited from Middle French lis, from Old French lis, generalised from the nominative singular and accusative plural of earlier lil, from Latin lilium. The final /s/ survives from the Middle French pausal pronunciation (as in fils, ours, os, tous, etc.), but fleur de lis was formerly also pronounced with /li/.
