Nguồn gốc từ

Perhaps short for landloafer, possibly a partial translation of German Landläufer (compare dialectal German loofen (to run), and English landlouper); or more likely connected to Middle English love, loove, loffinge, looffinge (a remnant, the rest, that which remains or lingers), from Old English lāf (remainder, residue, what is left) (more at lave), which is akin to lave, lǣfan (more at leave).
