loint.¹

Brit.

/ləʊ/, U.S.

/loʊ/

Forms: Old English lá, Middle English la, Middle English lou, low, Middle English lowe, Middle English–1500s loo, 1500s loa, 1500s–1600s loe, Middle English– lo. Also Middle English (as if imperative plural) los. See also lew int.

Etymology: The evidence of rhymes in Middle English poetry shows that the spelling lo or loo represents two distinct words. (1) Middle English lǭ < Old English lá , an exclamation indicating surprise, grief, or joy, and also used (like O!) with vocatives. (2) Middle English lo with close ō , probably a shortened form of lōke (Old English lóca ), imperative of look v.; compare Middle English and modern dialect ta for take, ma for make, also the modern dialect loo' thee = ‘look you’. The los of the Cursor Mundi, used in addressing a multitude, seems to be imperative plural. The peculiar early Middle English forms lou, low(e may stand for lo we = ‘look we’. The present pronunciation /ləʊ/ would normally represent Old English lá, but it may be a mere interpretation of the spelling, as the modern lo corresponds functionally to the second of the two words, which should normally have become *loo /luː/ in modern English.

archaic.

†(a) In early use, an interjection of vague meaning, corresponding approximately to the modern O! or Oh! Obsolete. (b) Used to direct attention to the presence or approach of something, or to what is about to be said; = Look! See! Behold! Frequently in lo and behold (usually jocular).
