lortur

Icelandic

Etymology

From Old Norse lortr, cognate with Faroese lortur (“excrement, feces”), Danish lort (“excrement, feces”). Perhaps from or related to Proto-West Germanic *lort (“left; left-handed; crooked; bent; warped; underhanded; deceitful; limping”), from Proto-Indo-European *lerd- (“to bend; arch; crook”). If so, then related also to Old English lort (“crooked”), Middle High German lurz, lerz (“left; left-handed”). More at lirt.
