核心畫面
One picture holds the whole word: the band of the back that sits low, between the last rib and the hip. On a person that is the part that after carrying boxes all day. On a four-legged animal it is the same band, running along either side of the backbone. Every other use is that one strip of the body, seen from a different place — from the kitchen, or from an old book.

可以想成一條帶子：背的下段，在最後一根肋骨和髖骨之間。在人身上，那就是搬了一天東西之後會痠的後腰。在四隻腳的動物身上，是脊椎兩側同一段。這個字所有的用法，都是從不同角度看這同一條帶子。有的從廚房看，有的從舊書裡看。From the word’s history
Wiktionary traces loin through Middle English loyne and Old French loigne to Latin lumbus, 'loin', with an older root meaning kidney or waist. The word has stayed on the same piece of the body ever since.
字源資料把 loin 從中古英語 loyne、古法文 loigne 一路追到拉丁文 lumbus（腰），更早的字根跟「腎、腰」有關。它從頭到尾都停在身體的同一個位置。
Wiktionary via the supplied evidence packet (kaikki:3f6f69a190036ae4:563162231:22102): 'From Middle English loyne, from Old French loigne, from Vulgar Latin *lumbea, from Latin lumbus.'

那條帶子上的肉
肉品的說法是直接用「切自哪裡」來命名這塊肉，所以位置沒有換，只是換成從餐桌那一頭看。
noun · B2
A piece of meat cut from the lower part of an animal's back, most often pork, lamb or beef. It can be cooked whole, for example roasted, or cut into smaller pieces.
