Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English loitren, from Middle Dutch loteren ("to shake, wag, wobble"; > modern leuteren), ultimately connected with a frequentative form of Proto-Germanic *lūtaną (to bend, stoop, cower, shrink from, decline), see lout. Cognate with leuteren to dawdle, lottern to wobble, lottern live a slovenly life. More at lout, little.
