Russian
Etymology
Borrowed from German Linse in 1870s (earlier attested once in 1847 with the sense 'lentiform shape'), from Middle High German linse (“lentil”), from Old High German linsa, likely a borrowing from an unidentified source.
Compare Latin lēns, Lithuanian lęšis, and Old Church Slavonic лѧща (lęšta) sounding too similar for a coincidence, however different enough to prohibit reconstruction of a common PIE protoform.
If ultimately a non-IE loanword, locating the source is virtually impossible because cultivation of lentil was widespread in the region since the Neolithic.
