Etymology

The term 'loll' originates from the Middle English word 'lollen', which means 'to move or hang loosely'. The roots of the word can be traced back to Middle Dutch 'lollen', which carries a similar meaning. It has evolved over the centuries, with its usage expanding to describe various forms of idle relaxation. Initially, 'loll' was frequently employed in literary contexts, often depicting characters that were unduly relaxed or lethargic. As the language progressed into modern English, the term found its way into colloquial conversations, predominantly used in informal settings to describe a comfortable, lazy demeanor. The playful connotation allowed it to blend into everyday language, where it now signifies both an action of relaxation and a lifestyle of easygoingness.
