loud 喧鬧的

來(lái)自古英語(yǔ)hlud,吵鬧的，響亮的，來(lái)自PIE*kleu,聽(tīng)，詞源同listen.

loud: loud: [OE] The underlying meaning of loud is ‘heard, audible’ – for it goes back ultimately to an Indo-European *klu- ‘hear’ (source also of English listen). The past participial form based on this, *klūtós, passed into prehistoric West Germanic as *khluthaz, which has since differentiated into German laut, Dutch luid, and English loud.
=> listen
