Etymology 1

edit

Borrowed from Latin lār (“ancestral deity or spirit”) from Etruscan.

Pronunciation

edit

Noun

edit

lar (plural lars or lares)

  1. (Roman mythology, chiefly in the plural) singular of lares: a household god, particularly overseeing the family itself.
    • 1974, Guy Davenport, Tatlin!:
      Would the great emperor’s lar, free of its soldierly body rheumatic from German mists and browned and grizzled by the Indus sun, haunt that pinedark road to Elefsis to taste again the essences on which it fed and gather with voluptuous fingers the ghosts of roses?
  2. The lar gibbon.
Usage notes
edit

The gibbon is pluralized as lars. The Latin household gods usually appear as the plurale tantum Lares, following its Latin plural form and capitalized to denote a particular group of lares; the alternative forms Lars, lares, and lars sometimes appear.

Etymology

edit

From Latin lārem, in its current form most likely a learned borrowing.[1] A popular or inherited form also existed, referring to the irons in a hearth on which vats were hung to heat water or make stews. The word may ultimately be of Etruscan origin. Doublet of llar.
