From Latin lumbus, possibly through Osco-Umbrian (as the expected Latin form would be *lundus), from Proto-Italic *lonðwos, from Proto-Indo-European *lendʰwos, from the root *lendʰ- (“to enter, penetrate, expand”). Cognate with Old English lynd (“fat, grease”), Old English lendenu (“loins”). More at lend.
