The word "lap" comes from origins before C.E. 900. It is derived from the Middle English word lappe and the Old English laeppa. Its Middle English and Old English meanings are akin to the word rag in noun form and patch, mend, fold, and wrap in verb form. It can be traced back to the Latin lambere and to the Greek laptein which means to lick.
