Where this word comes from

Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *leb- Proto-Indo-European *l̥b-yómder. Proto-Italic *labjom Latin labium From Proto-Italic *labjom, from Proto-Indo-European *leb- (“to hang loosely”), making it cognate with Proto-Germanic *lepô (“lip”), although (as with many other roots reconstructed with *b) there is some doubt about whether this root goes back to Proto-Indo-European. Lab- may be the regular outcome of zero-grade tautosyllabic *l̥b.-. Doublet of labrum.
