/ləʊt/, U.S.

/loʊt/

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French lote, lotte; Latin Lota, lota.

Etymology: Originally (i) (in quot. 1611) < French lote, variant of lotte (1553 in Middle French; further etymology uncertain); in subsequent use (ii) < scientific Latin Lota, genus name ( L. Oken Isis (1817) 1182/4; compare earlier use as a specific name ( Linnaeus Systema Naturæ (ed. 10, 1758) I. 255)), specific use of post-classical Latin lota (1554 or earlier; < Middle French). Compare post-classical Latin iota, denoting a kind of fish (recorded in a 10th-cent. glossary; almost certainly a transmission error for lota, and hence implying earlier currency in Latin and perhaps also in French).

rare before 19th cent.
