"etymology_text": "In popular folk etymology, often assumed to be a variant of Old Norse logi (“flame, blaze”) (from Proto-Germanic *lugô (“flame, blaze”); compare Old Norse leygr (“flame, blaze”), from Proto-Germanic *laugiz (“flame, blaze”), from Proto-Indo-European *leuk- (“light; white; to shine”)), but this is not linguistically sound. Now seen as from Old Norse lok (“lock”), equivalent to lok + -i, from Proto-Germanic *luką (“lock”), from Proto-Indo-European *lewg- (“to turn, bend”), connecting his name to entanglement.\nLoki may have originated as an epithet or title (\"Entangler\"), similar to Freyr (\"Lord\") for Yngvi, as evidenced by the Jötunn Útgarða-Loki featuring the same element. Some suggest his original name was Old Norse *logi (“liar, deceiver”) (from Proto-Indo-European *lewgʰ- (“to lie, tell a lie”), cognate with Old English loga (“liar, deceiver”)), as he is the god of mischief, or Old Norse logi (“fire, blaze”) (from Proto-Indo-European *leuk- which relates to how he is speculated to have been worshiped.",

"etymology_text": "In popular folk etymology, often assumed to be a variant of Old Norse logi (“flame, blaze”) (from Proto-Germanic *lugô (“flame, blaze”); compare Old Norse leygr (“flame, blaze”), from Proto-Germanic *laugiz (“flame, blaze”), from Proto-Indo-European *leuk- (“light; white; to shine”)), but this is not linguistically sound. Now seen as from Old Norse lok (“lock”), equivalent to lok + -i, from Proto-Germanic *luką (“lock”), from Proto-Indo-European *lewg- (“to turn, bend”), connecting his name to entanglement.\nLoki may have originated as an epithet or title (\"Entangler\"), similar to Freyr (\"Lord\") for Yngvi, as evidenced by the Jötunn Útgarða-Loki featuring the same element. Some suggest his original name was Old Norse *logi (“liar, deceiver”) (from Proto-Indo-European *lewgʰ- (“to lie, tell a lie”), cognate with Old English loga (“liar, deceiver”)), as he is the god of mischief, or Old Norse logi (“fire, blaze”) (from Proto-Indo-European *leuk- which relates to how he is speculated to have been worshiped.",
