[ME. loge, logge, a. OF. loge, loige arbour, summerhouse, hut (F. loge hut, cottage, box at a theatre, etc.) = Pr. lotja, Pg. loja, It. loggia (dial. lobia):—med.L. laubia, lobia (recorded in the sense ‘covered walk, cloister’: hence lobby), a. OHG. *laubja, later louppea, lauba, sheltered or shady place, booth, hut (glossing umbraculum, tempes, magalia, mappalia, proscenium, propola; MHG. loube, löube porch, balcony, hall; mod.G. laube arbour, summerhouse).
The derivation of the Ger. word from OTeut. *lauƀom leaf is disputed by some scholars, on the ground that the sense ‘arbour’ is a mod. development from compounds like sommerlaube, gartenlaube. But the Latin-OHG. glosses, and the early examples of loge in OF., seem to show clearly that the sense ‘shelter of foliage’, though not evidenced in MHG., is the primary one. Cf. levesel.]
