Origin

Mid 16th century (in the general sense 'look sideways or askance'): perhaps from obsolete leer 'cheek', from Old English hlēor, as though the sense were 'to glance over one's cheek'.

lairy from mid 19th century:
For a century or more lairy has been Australian and New Zealand slang for ‘ostentatious, flashy’. British English has adopted this use, to join an earlier, originally Cockney sense ‘cunning or conceited’, as well as the meaning ‘aggressive, rowdy’. The word is a form of leery (late 17th century), which means ‘cautious or wary’ and is related to leer (mid 16th century) ‘to look at in a lecherous way’, from Old English hleor ‘cheek’.
