Etymology

Lua error: Module:checkparams:215: The template Template:PIE root does not use the parameter(s):

2=lewd

Please see Module:checkparams for help with this warning.

(deprecated template usage) From *lud-, the zero-grade of (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *lewd-. Cognate with Proto-Slavic *lȗdъ (crazy, foolish) < *loud-; compare Serbo-Croatian lȗd (crazy, immature), (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Russian archaic луд (lud, stupid, crazy). If this *lewd is the same root (to bend) as in Gothic 𐌻𐌹𐌿𐍄𐍃 (liuts, deceitful), Old English lūtan (bend, stoop), Old Norse lúta (bow, submit), the semantic shift may be explained as "to bend" > "bring down, humble" > "depress".

The palatalisation of the l must be due to the influence of an unattested e-grade *liaud-.[1]
