Etymology[edit]
From lira (“play”) + -are (“-er”).
Noun[edit]
lirare c
- (colloquial) a player (of a sport, game, or instrument)

Usage notes[edit]
English player is a false friend in (sense 2). Not intrinsically about picking up romantic partners, where player is often used as a loanword instead. See also tjejtjusare.
