Hypothetised to be derived fromProto-Indo-European*lino-, although it's impossible to reconstruct a common PIE protoform due to discrepancies with other European branches and absence of cognates outside of Europe.
If originally a non-IE loanword, locating the source is impossible because cultivation of linen was widespread in the region since the Neolithic.
