lauter

== English == === Etymology === From German lauter (“pure, clear”, adjective). Began to become common in English in the 1880s. === Pronunciation === (General American) IPA(key): /laʊtɚ/ (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /laʊtə(ɹ)/ === Adjective === lauter (not comparable) (brewing, of mash, only attributive) Clear. === Verb === lauter (third-person singular simple present lauters, present participle lautering, simple past and past participle lautered) (brewing, transitive) To subject to lautering. === References === === Anagrams === Tulare, at-rule, uretal, uteral == German == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈlaʊ̯tɐ/ === Etymology 1 === From Middle High German lūter (“clean, clear, pure”), from Old High German hlūtar, from Proto-West Germanic *hlūtr. ==== Adjective ==== lauter (strong nominative masculine singular lauterer or lautrer, not comparable) (formal) sincere; honorable; of integrity; correct Synonyms: aufrichtig, ehrenhaft (formal, literary, most often of metal) genuine; pure Synonyms: eitel, echt (colloquial, uninflected, not comparable) a lot of; a bunch of; much; many; several Synonyms: eine Menge, etliche, einige, viel, alle möglichen ===== Declension ===== ===== Derived terms ===== Lauterkeit läutern unlauter ==== Adverb ==== lauter (formal) in a sincere, honorable, correct manner; with integrity (colloquial) just; only; exclusively; often best translated with all ===== Usage notes ===== It is somewhat arbitrary to separate the sense “a lot, a bunch” (see the adjective) from the sense “exclusively, only” (adverb). Both often overlap and are not explicitly distinct in their construction. The distinction uninflected adjective versus adverb has been chosen here for simplicity, that is because the German synonyms and English translations tend to be of the respective parts of speech. — It may be well possible to analyse both senses as either adjectives or adverbs. ===== Synonyms ===== ausschließlich lediglich nur alles === Etymology 2 === ==== Adjective ==== lauter comparative degree of laut ==== Adjective ==== lauter inflection of laut: strong/mixed nominative masculine singular strong genitive/dative feminine singular strong genitive plural === Further reading === “lauter” in Duden online “lauter” in Duden online
