Lye is an alkaline solution that's used for cleaning. If you were a maid about 200 years ago, you probably cleaned the chamber pots with lye. Lye is an old cleaning product and an old word too. It comes from the Old English lÃ©ag, which is related to the root for wash in our word lather. Lye is still used to make soap, but you probably won't come across the word except in old novels.
