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.
