Etymology

From Middle Dutch laven, from Old Dutch *lavon, from Proto-Germanic *labōną ‎(“to strengthen, refresh”), from Proto-Indo-European *lōbʰ- ‎(“to rest, strengthen oneself”). From the Germanic word are descended - among others - English lave, German laben. Ancient Greek λωφάω ‎(lōpháō, “to rest or retire from something”) is a more distantly related Indo-European cognate.
