Etymology

edit

From Old Irish loittid, from Proto-Celtic *lottô, from Proto-Indo-European *lewh₁ (to cut off, separate, free), see also Latin luō (expiate, pay), Sanskrit लून (lūna, sever, cut forth, destroy, annihilate), English loose, Old Armenian լուծանեմ (lucanem) and Albanian lirë.[1] Stokes prefers a comparison with Proto-Germanic *lutōną (to conceal, hide), *lūtaną (to bow down).
