Phrases

a lump in the throat

take (or get) one's lumps

Origin

Middle English: perhaps from a Germanic base meaning 'shapeless piece'; compare with Danish lump 'lump', Norwegian and Swedish dialect lump 'block, log', and Dutch lomp 'rag'.

lumber from Late Middle English:
The earliest lumber in English meant ‘to move in a slow, heavy, awkward way’. Its origin is not known, but its form may have been intended to suggest clumsiness or heaviness, rather like lump (Middle English). This may have been the origin of lumber in the sense ‘disused furniture and articles that take up space’, but people also associated the term with the old word lumber meaning ‘a pawnbroker's shop’, which was an alteration of Lombard or ‘person from Lombardy’. The mainly North American sense ‘timber sawn into rough planks’ appears to be a development of the ‘disused furniture’ meaning, as is the verb to be lumbered or burdened with something unwanted. The slang phrase in lumber, ‘in trouble’, originally meant ‘in pawn, pawned’.
