Etymology 1

edit

Most likely a formation after lëndë (“timber”), similarly to the connection of vis with vend.[1] Alternatively, Orel suggests a borrowing from Proto-Slavic *lěsъ (“forest, woods”), whence Serbo-Croatian lȇs / ле̑с, Bulgarian лес (les), although in this case one would expect the auslaut to have undergone palatalization. Because of the /-i-/ < *-ě-, the Slavic dialect is identified as Ikavian.[2][3]

The final /s/ survives from the Middle French pausal pronunciation (as in fils, ours, os, tous, etc.), but fleur de lis was formerly also pronounced with /li/.
