lewisn.¹

Brit.

/ˈluːɪs/, U.S.

/ˈluəs/

Forms: Also lewiss, louis, luis.

Etymology: Of obscure origin; possibly < Lewis or Louis as a surname or Christian name. A dialect form levis ( Whitby Gloss. 1876) suggests connection with French lever to raise; but the formation and the phonology are not easily explained on this hypothesis.

An iron contrivance for raising heavy blocks of stone. Also called lewisson n.It consists of three pieces arranged so as to form a dovetail, the outside pieces being fixed in a dovetail mortise by the insertion of the middle piece. The three pieces are then connected together by the pin of the clevis passing through them.
