lort

Danish

Etymology

From Old Norse lortr (“extrement, feces”), akin to Faroese lortur, Icelandic lortur. Perhaps from Proto-Germanic *lurtaz (“crooked; bent; left; left-handed; dastardly”). If so, then related also to English lirt (“to trick; deceive”), German dialectal lurz (“left; bad; wicked”).
