Etymology
Lā'iḥa is the feminine active participle of the verb lāḥa, meaning to appear or to shine into view. The root relates to flat surfaces that catch the light, such as a board, and to things put on public display. A list or a set of rules took this name because it was posted where people could see it, so the word literally means something like the visible or displayed thing.
