'lane-lined' originates from English, formed by combining the noun 'lane' (meaning 'a narrow road or way') and the past-participle/adjective 'lined' derived from 'line' (meaning 'a long mark or stripe'), where 'lane' meant 'a narrow way' and 'line' meant 'a mark/stripe'.

'lane' comes from Old English 'lanu' meaning 'lane; passage', and 'line' comes via Old French 'ligne' from Latin 'linea' meaning 'a linen thread, line'. The modern compound 'lane-lined' is a recent English formation that attaches 'lined' to 'lane' to indicate being marked with lines.

Initially the elements referred separately to 'a narrow road' and to 'a mark or stripe'; combined as 'lane-lined' the meaning evolved into 'marked with lanes' (i.e., having lane markings).
