Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from Old Norse 'leggr', meaning 'leg' or 'bone of the leg', which entered Middle English around the 13th century, largely replacing the Old English word 'scanca' (shank). Historically, it referred to both the anatomical limb and the bone itself before specializing exclusively to the entire lower limb.
