語源

From lār (“teaching; doctrine”) +‎ *ēow, a word or suffix of uncertain origin and meaning, yet apparently found also in Old Saxon lērio, lēreo (“teacher, prophet”).

Some authorities believe the second element to be a corruption of 古期英語 þēow (“servant; minister”), which shows up in later forms of the word, e.g. 古期英語 lārþēaw (for *lārþēow), 中期英語 lorthew, etc., yet this might be assimilation in retrospect caused by confusion or folk-etymology.
