liếm
/lɪk//lɪk/The word "lick" has multiple origins and meanings, some of which are still in use today. The most commonly known usage of the word is as a verb, meaning to quickly lick or taste something. The origin of this usage can be traced back to the Middle English word "licken," which meant to moisten, lick, or kiss. This word was derived from the Old Norse word "líkkja," which had a similar meaning. As the English language evolved, "lick" also came to mean a group of animals, such as deer or turkeys, who gather together for socializing and protection. This usage dates back to the early 19th century, and the term was likely derived from the earlier sense of "lick" as a gathering or meeting place. In addition to these two meanings, "lick" has also been used as a noun to refer to a soft, flat, rock surface with water encoded inside, which is found in desert areas. This usage has its origins in the early 1900s and is likely derived from the earlier sense of "lick" as a place where water is readily found. Overall, the word "lick" has evolved and adapted to take on new meanings over time, while still retaining some of its original roots. Its diverse range of usages highlights the rich, complex nature of the English language and its ongoing evolution.
