Etymology 2
Shortened version of Middle High German nach lūt, alternatively nach lūte, with the modern German meaning of nach dem Wortlaut (“according to the wording”).[1]
Usage notes
The preposition laut governs either the dative or genitive case. Originally used with genitive, the dative has been more common since 1900:
- laut einem Bericht (also: eines Berichts) — according to a report.
The dative case is always used for plural nouns not preceded by an article, determiner, or adjective:
- laut Berichten (not: Berichte) — according to reports.
An isolated noun of the strong declension remains uninflected in the singular:
- laut Bericht (not: Berichts) — according to the report.
