loutv.¹

Brit.

/laʊt/, U.S.

/laʊt/

Forms: Past tense and past participle louted. Now archaic, poetic and dialect. Forms: Old English lútan, Middle English luten, ( lutien), Orm. lutenn, Middle English lute ( lote, louȝte, lutte), Middle English–1600s loute, lowte, (Middle English loutte, lowth, lowtt), 1500s lewt(e, 1500s, 1800s Scottish loot, Middle English– lout. past tense. α. strong Old English léat, plural luton, Middle English leat, plural luten. β. weak Middle English lotte, ? lute, lowtede, Middle English lut(te, luted, Middle English–1500s lowted, Middle English– louted.

Etymology: Originally a strong verb, Old English lútan, past tense léat, plural luton, past participle loten, corresponding to Old Norse lúta, past tense lǫut, plural lutu, past participle lotenn (Swedish luta, Danish lude), < Germanic root *leut-: laut-: lūt- < pre-Germanic *leud-: loud-: lūd-. The primary sense of the root is probably that represented in this verb; it also appears in the senses ‘to lurk’ (see lote v.¹, lout v.², and compare the cognates there mentioned), ‘to deceive’ (as in Gothic liut-s hypocrite, lutōn to deceive, Old English lot deceit, lytegian to defraud) and ‘to be small’ (see little adj.). Outside Germanic, probable cognates are Lithuanian liūdeti to mourn, liûdnas sad, cast down, Old Church Slavonic luditi to deceive, ludŭ foolish.

a. intransitive. To bend, bow, make obeisance; also, to stoop. Occasionally reflexive; also with down.

Now archaic, poetic and dialect. Forms: Old English lútan, Middle English luten, ( lutien), Orm. lutenn, Middle English lute ( lote, louȝte, lutte), Middle English–1600s loute, lowte, (Middle English loutte, lowth, lowtt), 1500s lewt(e, 1500s, 1800s Scottish loot, Middle English– lout. past tense. α. strong Old English léat, plural luton, Middle English leat, plural luten. β. weak Middle English lotte, ? lute, lowtede, Middle English lut(te, luted, Middle English–1500s lowted, Middle English– louted. Etymology: Originally a strong verb, Old English lútan, past tense léat, plural luton, past participle loten, corresponding to Old Norse lúta, past tense lǫut, plural lutu, past participle lotenn (Swedish luta, Danish lude), < Germanic root leut-: laut-: lūt-* < pre-Germanic leud-: loud-: lūd-. The primary sense of the root is probably that represented in this verb; it also appears in the senses ‘to lurk’ (see lote v.¹, lout v.², and compare the cognates there mentioned), ‘to deceive’ (as in Gothic liut-s* hypocrite, lutōn to deceive, Old English lot deceit, lytegian to defraud) and ‘to be small’ (see little adj.). Outside Germanic, probable cognates are Lithuanian liūdeti to mourn, liûdnas sad, cast down, Old Church Slavonic luditi to deceive, ludŭ foolish. 1. a. intransitive. To bend, bow, make obeisance; also, to stoop. Occasionally reflexive; also with down.
