Etymology
The word 'low' comes from Middle English 'louen', which itself originates from Old English 'hlลซgan', meaning โto make a soundโ. The term has retained its primary association with the vocalizations of cattle throughout its evolution. In Old English, the sound was primarily described in relation to specific animals, conveying the idea of vocal expression. Over centuries, the spelling and pronunciation have evolved, leading to the modern verb form 'lowing', indicative of the characteristic sound produced by cows. Cattle are one of the earliest domesticated animals, and their sounds have been a part of human agriculture for millennia, cementing the term 'low' in cultural and agricultural contexts.
