Word origin
The word 'loose' originated from Old Norse 'lauss', meaning 'loose, free, vacant, dissolute'. Over time, the word evolved in Middle English to 'lous', and eventually to its current form 'loose'. The concept of something not being tightly restrained or confined has been central to the meaning of 'loose' throughout its history.
