lichn.

/lɪtʃ/

Forms: α. Old English–Middle English líc, Middle English liche, lyche, 1500s lytche, 1600s, 1800s litch, Middle English–1600s, 1800s lich, lych; in combination Middle English lege-, 1500s–1800s leech-, 1800s leach- (see also lych-gate n., lich-owl n.). plural Old English líc, Middle English liches. β. Middle English lik(e, (Middle English lijk), 1600s, 1800s like, lyke. plural 1800s likes.

Etymology: Old English líc strong neuter = Old Frisian lîk , Old Saxon líc (Low German liche , like , Dutch lijk ), Old High German líh neuter and feminine (Middle High German lîch (feminine), also weak lîche , German leiche dead body), Old Norse lík (Swedish lik , Danish lig ), Gothic leik < Germanic *lîko^m neuter. Comparison with the cognate words (see like adj., like n.¹, like v.¹) suggests that the original sense was probably ‘form, shape’. The Old English líc became by normal development lich(e in the south and like in the north; hence the diversity of forms above. Compare ditch, dike.

Obsolete exc. archaic and in combinations.

= body n.

a. The living body. Also the trunk, as opposed to the limbs.
