Nguồn gốc từ

Recorded since 1375, from Middle English lamentacioun, from Middle French lamentation and its etymon Latin lāmentātiō (wailing, moaning, weeping), from the deponent verb lāmentor, from lāmentum (wail; wailing), itself from a Proto-Indo-European *leh₂- (to howl), presumed ultimately imitative. Replaced cwiþan. lament.
