Etymology[edit]

Borrowed from French labourer (“to plough”),[1] from Middle French labourer, from Old French laborer, from Latin laborare, from labor (“labor, toil, work, exertion”). The second sense of performing difficult labour in general is possibly directly from Middle French labourer or Middle Dutch labeuren[2].
