Etymology

1. From Old English lanu, from Proto-West Germanic *lanu, from Proto-Germanic *lanō.
2. The form lone continues Mercian Old English lone, reflecting the dialectal rounding of Germanic */ɑn/. In most words, this rounding is only apparent in West Midland Middle English, but lone is the usual Northern form as well, making it a relic of the wider Old English distribution.
