Could the word LORD be derived from lowerd or vise versa?

No, the word "LORD" is not derived from "lowered" or vice versa. They have completely different origins and meanings.

LORD:

* Origin: Old English "hlāford" (master), from Proto-Germanic *hlafordz (master, lord).

* Meaning: A person who has power or authority, especially a ruler, a nobleman, or a god.

LOWERED:

* Origin: Past participle of "lower" (to move something down), from Old English *lāwer.

* Meaning: Moved down to a lower position or level.

While the words have a similar sound due to shared phonemes, they have no etymological connection.
