From Middle Dutch los, from Old Dutch *los, from Proto-Germanic *luhsuz, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *lewk- (“light, to shine”) or from a substrate language.[1] Cognate with Old Saxon lohs, Old High German luhs, Old English lox, from a similar Germanic form also Swedish lodjur. Cognates outside Germanic include Ancient Greek λύγξ (lúnx), Lithuanian lūšis, Old Church Slavonic роусь (rusĭ), Old Irish lug, Old Armenian լուսանունք (lusanunkʿ).

GermanEdit

PronunciationEdit

  • IPA(key): /loːs/ (standard)
  • IPA(key): /lɔs/ (regionally; chiefly as interjection or when meaning “going on”)

Etymology 1Edit

From Old High German lōs.

AdjectiveEdit

los (comparative loser, superlative am losesten)

  1. Alternative form of lose (“loose”)

AdverbEdit

los (only used in combination with a verb)

  1. off, rid of
    Ich bin meine Erkältung los.
    I've got rid of my cold.
  2. going on
    Hier ist einiges los.
    There's a lot going on here.

InterjectionEdit

los

  1. come on!, let's go!

Usage notesEdit

In compound verbs it is generally vain to distinguish those in which los is the adjective los(e) from those in which it is the adverb. For example, in losmachen (“loosen”) it seems to be the adjective, in losfahren (“leave”) and loswerden (“get rid”) it is the adverb.
