Etymology 2

[edit]

From Middle Dutch laer, from Old Dutch lār, hlār (only in place names), from Proto-Germanic *hlēraz or *hlēzaz, possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kelh₁- and related to Latin clarus (bright, clear).[1] The etymology is unclear, and the word is rare in the languages where it is found, in any case.

Cognate with Old Saxon hlār, Old High German hlār, both only on place names. Also see hypotheses in Ancient Belgian language.
