lave

lave
lave (v.) c.1200, from O.E. gelafian "wash by pouring, pour (water)," possibly an early English or West Germanic borrowing (Cf. Du. laven, Ger. laben) of L. lavare "to wash," or its Old French descendant, laver. Latin lavare is from PIE *leu(e)- "to wash" (Cf. L. luere "to wash," Gk. louein "to wash, bathe," O.Ir. loathar "basin," Bret. laouer "trough," O.E. leaþor "lather").
