verb · Strong class 2

Meanings

to bow down, lout

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *lewd- (‘to duck, crouch, feign, cringe, become small’), a root whose purported descendants are uncertain, but which usually includes Lithuanian liū̃dnas (‘sad’), liū̃sti (‘to become sad’). By synchronic analysis, Kroonen takes the word as a back-formation from the iterative *luttōną (‘to stoop, droop’) (apparently from the same root), and tentatively compares Old Irish lott (‘damage, destruction’).
