/l̪ˠeːx/, /l̪ˠiːx/, /l̪ˠɯːx/
BunúsFrom Old Irish láech (“warrior, layman”), from Late Latin lāicus (“lay, layman, laic”), from Ancient Greek λᾱϊκός (lāïkós, “of the people”), from λᾱός (lāós, “the people”). Matasović suggests the “warrior” sense may instead be from Proto-Celtic *lāikos from Proto-Indo-European *leh₂- (“war”).
