Etymology

From Old Norse lortr ‎(“extrement, feces”), akin to Faroese lortur, Icelandic lortur. Perhaps from Proto-Germanic *lurtaz ‎(“crooked; bent; left; left-handed; dastardly”). If so, then related also to English lirt ‎(“to trick; deceive”), German dialectal lurz ‎(“left; bad; wicked”).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /lort/, [ˈloɐ̯ˀd]
