Etymology
In summary
From Middle Dutch louter, variant of luyter, lûter, lutter, from Old Dutch *lūtir, luttir, from Proto-Germanic *hlūtraz. The -ou- is probably due to influence by late Middle High German lauter, older lūter, from Old High German hlūter, from the same Germanic source. Compare modern German lauter.
