Where this word comes from

Uncertain. Possibly from Licinus or licinus (“turned up, turned back”) + -ius (“-y: forming adjectives”) in reference to a prominent figure's nose or hair, from Old Latin *lecinos, from Proto-Indo-European *lewg- (“to bend”) or from the common Etruscan name 𐌋𐌄𐌂𐌍𐌄 (lecne). There are numerous other examples of Latin nomina formed by adjusting the -inus suffix of a cognomen to end with -ius instead.
