Etymology
From de gmh linse, from de goh linsa, likely a borrowing from an unidentified source.
Compare la lēns, lt lęšis, and cu лѧща sounding too similar for a coincidence, however different enough to prohibit reconstruction of a common PIE protoform.
If ultimately a non-IE loanword, locating the source is virtually impossible because cultivation of lentil was widespread in the region since the Neolithic.
The sense ‘lens’ is a de la lēns lentil; lens 1.
