loseln.adj.

/ˈləʊzəl/

Forms: Middle English–1600s losell, Middle English–1500s loselle, (1500s losyll), 1500s–1600s lozel(l, (1500s lozile, lozzel, 1600s lozzell), 1500s–1600s, 1800s Scottish lossel, 1600s lossell, Middle English– losel.

Etymology: apparently < losen, past participle of leese v.¹ (compare lorel n. and adj. from the more usual loren , and brothel n. similarly < Old English broðen, past participle of bréoðan to be ruined). The etymological sense is thus ‘one who is lost’, ‘a son of perdition’.

A. n.

A worthless person; a profligate, rake, scoundrel; in weaker sense, a ragamuffin, ne'er-do-well.
