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.
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.'
