lodge: [13] The distant ancestor of lodge was Germanic *laubja ‘shelter’, which may well have been a derivative of *laubam ‘leaf’ (source of English leaf) – the underlying idea being of a sheltered place formed by or constructed from leafy branches. German laube ‘summer-house, covered way’ comes from the same source. Medieval Latin took over the Germanic form as laubia or lobia (from which English gets lobby [16]), and passed it on via Old French loge to English in the form lodge. => leaf, lobby
