Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
LYE (0. Eng. leag, cf. Dutch loog, Ger. Lauge, from the root meaning to wash, see in Lat. lavare, and Eng. " lather," froth of soap and water, and " laundry ") , the name given to the solution of alkaline salts obtained by leaching or lixiviating
wood
  ashes with water, and sometimes to a solution of a
caustic
  alkali. Lixiviation (Lat. lixivium, lye, lix, ashes) is the action of separating, by the percolation of water, a soluble from an insoluble substance. " Leaching," the native English
term
  for this process, is from " leach," to water, the root probably being the same as in " lake."
