Lot, neuter, ‘lead (or soft metal), half an ounce,’ from Middle High German lôt (in Old High German by chance not recorded), neuter, ‘lead, weight cast from lead’; corresponding to Dutch lood, ‘lead, kind of weight,’ Anglo-Saxon leád, English lead. The old West Teutonic *lauda-, neuter, ‘lead,’ is connected with the equivalent Old Irish luáide. —
