/ˈlaʊ(ə)r/

Forms: Middle English–1500s loure, Middle English lure, Middle English–1700s lowr(e, (1500s loour, 1600s lowere), 1500s– lour, lower.

Etymology: Middle English loure-n, perhaps representing an Old English *lúrian; other Germanic languages have forms apparently corresponding, but they have not been traced to any early date.Compare early modern Dutch loeren (Kilian) to frown, knit the brows; to look askance; to wink; to watch stealthily, to lie in wait (now only, to spy, lie in wait); late Middle High German and Middle Low German lûren to lie in wait (modern German lauern ), Swedish lura , Danish lure to lie in wait, also to doze, nap (Swedish, Danish lur a nap), modern Icelandic lúra to doze, nap, lúr a nap. The spelling lower (compare flower ) renders the word identical in its written form with lower v., to bring or come down, and the two verbs have often been confused: when said of clouds, lower/ˈlaʊə(r)/ to look threatening, has some affinity in sense with lower /ˈləʊə(r)/ to descend, and it is not always possible to discover which verb was in the mind of a writer.

a. intransitive. Of persons, their eyes, countenances, etc.: To frown, scowl; to look angry or sullen. †Also, to be depressed or mournful. Const. at, on, upon; rarely in indirect passive.
