Etymology

Inherited from Middle Dutch
loy
Cognate with Albanian
lirë
In summary

From Middle Dutch loy, from Proto-Germanic *lujaz. further etymology unsure. May be cognate with the Old Norse adjective lúinn (“exhausted”). Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *lewH- (“to cut off, separate, free”), source of Proto-Germanic *lausaz, Albanian lirë.
