Latin
Etymology
From Proto-Italic *loiros, of uncertain origin.[1] Vine and Nussbaum suggest an origin from Proto-Indo-European *(s)leh₃y- (“plum-coloured, blueish”), and thus cognacy with līvidus (“leaden, bluish”),[2] while Schrijver suggests a relation to Proto-Brythonic *lloɨr (“moon”), which itself is possibly from *(s)leh₃y-.[1] Synchronically analyzable as the -or-derivative corresponding to lūridus (“pale yellow”).[1]
