Etymology
The word comes from the Semitic root l-w-ḥ, which gives لَوْح (lawḥ), a board, plank, or tablet. Adding the feminine ending ة forms the unit noun لَوْحَة, originally a single flat panel and later the surface for a picture. From the panel the sense extended to the painting on it, and to other flat surfaces such as boards, signs, and plates.
