ludro

Galician

Alternative forms

• ludre
• ludrio

Etymology

Obscure, perhaps a crossing of a descendant of Proto-Indo-European *lówh₃trom (“that which is used for washing”), and of Latin lūridus (“pale”) which originated Italian lordo (“filthy”). Compare also lorda.

In any case, cognate of Portuguese ludro.
