Etymology

From Late Middle English lainer, lainere, lanyer (strap or thong used to fasten armour, shields, clothing, etc.) [and other forms] (with the ending modified in the 17th century under the influence of yard), from Old French laniere, lasniere (thong, lash) (modern French lanière (lanyard, strap; (by extension) a strip)), from lasne (strap, thong; noose; snare), a metathetic alteration of nasle, nasliere (strap, thong), influenced by lane (wool), las (lace of a boot, shoe, etc.), or laz (snare, trap; pitfall); nasliere is derived from Old Dutch *nastila (headband; tie), from Proto-West Germanic *nastilu (strap; thread; tie), from Proto-Indo-European *ned- (to tie together). The English word is cognate with Old High German nestila (band, headband; strap) (modern German Nestel (lace; strap; string)), Old Norse nesta (brace; fastener, strap).
