Inflections: Plural unchanged.
Forms: also with capital initial.
Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Lebkuchen.
Etymology: < German Lebkuchen (13th cent. in Middle High German as lebekuoche ; compare Middle Low German levekoke ) < an initial element of uncertain and disputed origin (see below) + Middle High German kuoche Kuchen n.It has been suggested that the first element of the German word is either a borrowing of Latin lībum flatbread or shows an ablaut variant of Old High German, Middle High German leip , (in compounds) leib- (see loaf n.1), but both suggestions are problematic. Other less tenable etymologies have also been suggested; compare:1850 H. J. Whitling Pictures of Nuremberg I. 224 (note) Leb'kuchen, or, as it is called by some, lebbe (sweet) in the Osnaburg dialect, or otherwise Leben-kuchen, life-cake, a delicious kind of gingerbread, white or brown, for which Nuremberg is so much celebrated.
