Meaning & usage
a wire, a rope, a line
Where this word comes from
From Old Norse lína, from Proto-Germanic *līnǭ (“line, rope, flaxen cord, thread”), from *līną (“flax”). Hypothetised to be derived from Proto-Indo-European *līno- (“flax”), although it's impossible to reconstruct a common PIE protoform due to discrepancies with other European branches and absence of cognates outside of Europe. If originally a non-IE loanword, locating the source is impossible because cultivation of linen was widespread in the region since the Neolithic.
