launder 可以想成一個畫面：水流過髒東西，把髒的部分帶走，剩下來的看起來就乾淨了。洗一件襯衫是這個畫面的字面版。把來歷不明的錢丟進店面或帳戶走一圈，是同一個畫面的比喻版。而水要流，就得有一條槽——那條槽正好也叫 launder。From the word’s history
Contracted from Middle English lavender, from Old French lavandiere, from Late Latin lavandera, from Latin lavō ("to wash").
這個字從拉丁文 lavō（洗）來，經過古法文 lavandiere（洗衣的人），中古英文寫作 lavender，再縮成 launder。所以「洗」是它最早、也最字面的意思。
