Origin of the word lashing

The word "lashing" has its roots in Old English and Germanic languages. One possible origin is from the Old English words "lausian" or "hlæsian", which mean "to torment" or "to whip". This could be related to the concept of whipping or thrashing about, which is still a common usage of the word today. Another theory suggests that "lashing" comes from the Old Norse word "lás", which means "lash" or "cord", and the Old English suffix "-ing", making "lashing" a verbal form meaning "to lash" or "to bind with a cord". It's likely that the meaning of "lashing" has evolved over time, encompassing various meanings related to physical force, as well as figurative uses like "lashing out" in anger or frustration.
