Etymology
Uncertain. Perhaps from Proto-Italic *likēt, from Proto-Indo-European *lik-eh₁-yéti, from a root of the shape *leyk-, though there are no certain cognates outside of Italic. Cognate with liceor, liceō, Oscan 𐌋𐌝𐌊𐌝𐌕𐌖𐌃 (líkítud, “it is permitted”); outside of Italic, compare perhaps Lithuanian reikė́ti (“to need”).
