/ˈlɒːxtər/

Forms: Scottish pre-1700 lochtris (plural), pre-1700 louther, 1700s laughter, 1700s–1800s lauchter, 1800s louchter, 1800s loughter, 1800s–1900s luchter, 1800s– lochter, 1900s– lachter; Irish English (northern) 1900s– loghter, 1900s– luchter.

Origin: A borrowing from early Scandinavian.

Etymology: < early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic lagðr tuft of wool, Norwegian regional lagde lock of hair, tuft of wool or grass; ultimately < the same Indo-European base as ancient Greek λάχνη fleece, quilt, ram's wool, Old Church Slavonic vlasŭ hair, and (with lengthened grade) Old English wlōh fringe, ornament, tuft: see wlo n.) + -er, apparently after other words with this ending, e.g. laughter n.¹, fodder n. (since survival of the early Scandinavian inflectional -r would be unparalleled).Compare also Scots (Selkirkshire) †lucht, †lught lock of hair (early 19th cent. or earlier), which probably shows a shortening of the present word. Shetland Scots laget, laged, lagd (also in shortened form lag, laag) tuft of wool, wisp of hay, straw, etc. (early 19th cent. or earlier) represents an independent reborrowing < the unattested Norn cognate of the Scandinavian words listed above.

Scottish and Irish English (northern). Now rare.

†1. A lock of hair. Later also: a tuft of wool, grass, etc. Obsolete.
