means A small nocturnal primate with huge round eyes and painfully slow, deliberate movements, native to the forests of South and Southeast Asia.

from Probably from the Dutch 'loeris', meaning clown or simpleton — a word Dutch colonists in Sri Lanka or Indonesia likely applied to the animal because of its comically grave, wide-eyed face and clumsy-looking gait. The deeper root of 'loeris' itself is uncertain, so treat the clown story as the best-documented guess rather than settled fact.
