Etymology[edit]

Inherited from Old Polish lubszczek, from Middle High German lübestecke,[1] from Old High German lubistechal,[2] from Latin lubisticum, libisticum, from ligusticum, from Ancient Greek λῐγῠστῐκόν (ligustikón), from Ancient Greek Λῐγῠστῐκός (Ligustikós), from Ancient Greek Λίγυς (Lígus).

Compare Czech libeček, Slovak ľubček, Lower Sorbian libštok, Upper Sorbian lubčik, Serbo-Croatian љуба́чац, Slovene lúštek.

The German and Slavic words were transformed under the influence of folk etymologies linking them with the words lubić (to like), luby (lover) (cognate with Middle High German liep). Compare English lovage.
