Where this word comes from
Inherited from Old Norse *leifsa (“flatbread”), probably an s-derivative of hleifr (“loaf, bread”), from Proto-Germanic *hlaibaz (“loaf, bread”); compare leiv (“rolled-out piece of flatbread or lefse; thick slice of bread”). Compare Norwegian Nynorsk lefse, Swedish dialectal läfsa and Shetlandic lefsi (“lefse”). The base hleifr is cognate with English loaf.
