Etymology
1. 1362,
lollen "to lounge idly, hang loosely," perhaps related to M.Du.
lollen "to doze, mumble," or somehow imitative of rocking or swinging. Specifically of the tongue from 1611.
2. From Middle English lollen, lullen (“to lounge idly, hang loosely”), of uncertain origin; the Middle English Dictionary suggests a derivation from Middle Dutch lollen, lullen (“to doze; to mumble, talk nonsense”), though the words could merely be cognate. Compare modern Dutch lol (“fun”)), Icelandic lolla (“to act lazily”). See also lull. See: Middle English '
lollen', Icelandic '
lolla'.
