Word origin
The word 'lout' originated in Middle English, derived from the Old English word 'lลซtan' meaning 'to bow' or 'to stoop'. Over time, the meaning shifted to refer to a clumsy, awkward, or uncouth person. The negative connotation of the word developed due to its association with rude or aggressive behavior.
