English

Etymology

Borrowed from French luge, from Franco-Provençal, from Late Latin sclodia, from Gaulish stludio, from Proto-Indo-European *sleyd?- (“slippery”).

Akin to English sled and English sleigh, Irish slaod (“raft, float”), Old Breton stloit (“traction, sliding”) (modern Breton stlej (“sleigh”)), and Welsh llithr (“slide, slippage”).

The drinking-utensil sense is so-called from its resemblance to the tracks on which luges race.

Pronunciation
