Etymology
Probably from Proto-Baltic *lang-, from a variant *leng-, *lang- of Proto-Indo-European *lenk- (“to bend”) (whence also Latvian liekt (“to bend”), q.v.). According to this hypothesis, the meaning probably evolved from “circle” > “dint” > “hole”, whence “window”. This agrees with the fact that the oldest windows in Northern Europe were actually round holes on the roof for smoke to go out and light to come in which were covered when the weather was cold. Note how in some neighboring languages the word for “window” is related to the word for “eye”, as in Russian ????? (oknó, “window”), ???? (óko, “eye (poetic)”). Cognates include Lithuanian lángas, Old Prussian lanxto (= lanksto < langsto). Other (minoritary) opinions compare logs to Sanskrit ?????? (lak?ate, “to notice, to note”), Old English locian (“to look”), English look, or then derive it from Proto-Indo-European *leng- (“to swing, to flap”) (perhaps because in ancient times windows were covered with animal skins which swung or flapped in the wind).
