Alternative forms
  • laurear, laurere, lawrer, laurier, lorer, lorere, lorier, lorrer, lorrere, loryere, loryȝer
  • (with /l/) laureal, laureall, laurealle, laurel, laurell, laureol, laureole, laurial, laurialle, lauryel, lawriall, lorel, lorell, lorelle, loryel

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/
