Etymology
1. A Germanic borrowing, though the source is unclear:
2. * Borrowed from Middle Low German lode (“piece of lead (used as weight), plummet”),
3. * or perhaps from an East Frisian word, from Old Frisian lād. Compare Saterland Frisian Lood or Middle Dutch lood, which all had the same meaning (also compare German Lot (“plummet, solder”)). This borrowing is first attested in 17th-century dictionaries.
4. Both sources are from Proto-West Germanic *laud. Distantly related to Latvian plūst (“to stream, to flow”). See: German Nouns '
Lot'.
