Word origin

From Middle English lullen, lollen. Originally, perhaps expressive in origin from la-la-la or lu-lu-lu sounds made in calming a child. Compare Finnish laulaa (“to sing”) and Hiligaynon lala (“to sing a lullaby”).

Used in a sentence

  • […] during the lull, wind shifted to S. E. […]
  • After the lull the wind does not appear to have blown with any great strength […]
  • The air under each cloud has spent time near the surface, has been slowed and backed by friction—it is a lull.
