Thanks Sara! And thanks zbr308 for pointing out the lacrima connection!
[quote=Sara Hysaro][quote=zbr308]Seeing it almost certainly has something to do with lacrima (latin for tears, we are probably more familiar with lacrimosa, latin for weeping), I’d guess it has a similar sound, "lakri" maybe.

I went and dug up the tweet I recalled explaining how to pronounce it. It is acre with an l.
It stuck with me mostly because when lacre was first introduced I looked it up and discovered that it was Spanish for sealing wax, so I had been pronouncing it accordingly. I was pretty surprised by the clarification tweet. It being pronounced like lacrima would have been really neat, though.
