Where it comes from

Borrowed from Aramaic לַקְנָא / ܠܲܩܢܵܐ (laqnā), from Koine Greek λᾰκᾰ́νη (lăkắnē), parallelly also borrowed and quicker in Persian لگن (lagan). Remote doublet of لُجَيْن (lujayn, “refined silver”), لُجْنَة (lujna, “a measure for seed-land; drain-ditch”), إِجَّانَة (ʔijjāna, “wash-dish”), طَاجِن (ṭājin, “tajine”), and لَاقُونَة (lāqūna, “putty”), if the origins suggested for them by us are right.

noun لَقَن · laqan · لُقُون · أَلْقَان · اللَّقَن

  1. obsolete basin, bowl, washdish

    Similar: كَرْنِيب, مَغْسَلَة, جُرْن
