 *leigis healer *leg- to leak *leǵ- to collect, gather
lēkijaz ˈlɛː.ki.jɑz ᛚᛖᚲᛁᛃᚨᛉ
noun masculine ja-stem doctor, physician Uncertain; possibly from *lēkiz (‘healing; medicine; healer’) + *-jaz, or borrowed from Proto-Celtic *leigis (‘healer’) of the same root. Perhaps also from Proto-Indo-European *leǵ- (‘to collect, gather’), and thus related to Latin legō. Alternatively, from Proto-Indo-European *leg- (‘to leak’), with original sense of "blood-letter (leaker)" > "leech (used in therapy)" > "doctor", though this is speculative.
