Etymology

Borrowed from Anglo-Norman lorer (Old French lorier), from Vulgar Latin *laurārius, from Latin laurus, which forms with /au̯/ are influenced by.

Forms with final /l/ are presumably due to a combination of dissimilation (as in marble, variant of marbre) and the influence of laureola, but are often reshaped after the suffix -(i)al.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /lau̯ˈreːr/, /ˈlau̯rər/, /lɔ-/
  • (with /l/) IPA(key): /lau̯ˈrɛl/, /ˈlau̯rɛl/, /lɔ-/, /-ial/

Noun

laurer (plural laurers)

  1. laurel
    • Circa 1380, Geoffrey Chaucer, Anelida and Arcite, lines 44-45
      With his tryumphe and laurer-corouned thus,
      In al the flour of Fortunes yevynge

Descendants

  • English: laurel
  • Scots: laurie
