loll

Etymology

This traces to Middle English lollen, lullen ("to lounge idly, hang loosely"), of uncertain origin. The Middle English Dictionary proposes a link to Middle Dutch lollen, lullen ("to doze; to mumble, talk nonsense"), although the two sets of words might simply be cognates rather than directly related. Compare modern Dutch lol ("fun") and Icelandic lolla ("to act lazily"). See also lull.
