The answer
LOUSE
What louse means
A small parasitic insect that lives on the skin or hair of humans and animals, feeding on blood and causing itching.
Where the word comes from
From Old English "lus," this word traces back to Proto-Germanic "luaz" and likely connects to Proto-Indo-European roots related to breaking or dissolving—possibly referring to the parasite's destructive nature. The plural "lice" comes from the same Germanic root, which shifted irregularly over time rather than following standard English pluralization patterns.
