Where this word comes from

From Old Galician-Portuguese *paanca (cf. the derived term paancada, 13th century, Cantigas de Santa Maria), from Vulgar Latin palanca, perhaps from Latin phalanga, from the accusative form of Ancient Greek φάλαγξ (phálanx, “log, trunk, body of soldiers, etc.”). Cf. Spanish palanca, English plank, planch.
