Where this word comes from

Ultimately from Latin lacerta, though the intermediate steps are uncertain. Possibly borrowed from Scottish Gaelic laghairt as the word appears in Scottish Gaelic dictionaries earlier than in Irish ones: it appears in Edward Dwelly's 1911 Illustrated Gaelic–English Dictionary, but not in the Dictionary of the Irish Language or the 1904 or 1927 editions of Dinneen's Irish–English Dictionary.
