Łagiew (Lägel, Legel, lat. lagēna, gr. lagynos, λάγυνος) - a container for storing and transporting water, beverages and other liquids.
It was primarily a travel vessel whose capacity could also be defined. They were made of wood, leather, ore, copper or clay.
In the Proto-Slavic language there were also verbal forms of lag and lagъve that defined such vessels. The fact that the term linguist is found in many Slavonic languages undermines the prevailing belief that the word was borrowed from German.
The lagoon, the stick, the barrel, the flask, the pitcher, the skillet - these vessels in Latin were called lagoena and lagoon. The craftsman who made the loafers was called a lagger; synonym of this name in old Polish documents written in Latin were derived from the name of the dish: lagoenarius, lagenarius, lagoenator, lagenator.
