It is pronounced law-znj.
Meaning: This noun refers to a small, flat sweet that you suck to make a cough or sore throat feel better. It also refers to a figure (such as diamond) with four equal sides and two acute and two obtuse angles.
Origin: This Middle English word is from the Old French losenge, probably derived from the base of Spanish losa, and Portuguese lousa, meaning 'slab’. This, in turn, is from the late Latin word lausiae, meaning ‘stone slabs’.
Usage: She popped an orange-coloured lozenge into her mouth.
