Etymology: < classical Latin lingua tongue, tongue as an organ of speech, speech, utterance, language, dialect, also applied to various tongue-shaped objects, as the stamen of a flower, in post-classical Latin also a tongue or tongue-like organ in an insect (1710 or earlier) < the same Indo-European base as tongue n.With sense 1 compare slightly earlier lingo n.1, earlier language n. and the Romance parallels cited in the etymological note at that entry, and also earlier langue n. Sense 2 may show a different word (compare earlier lingo n.2), unless it is so called on account of the weight's long and narrow shape.
