"etymology_text": "From Middle English lurken, perhaps of North Germanic origin, related to Norwegian Nynorsk lurka (“to sneak away, go slowly”) and Swedish lurka (“to dawdle, be slow in one's work”); probably ultimately allied to Middle English luren, louren (“to frown, lower, lurk”), equivalent to lower + -k (frequentative suffix). Compare also Saterland Frisian lüürkje (“to look secretly, spy”).",
