Superfine, le bar à cocktails de compétition en lieu et place du Motel
To be in lieu of something is to replace it or substitute for it. A restaurant that's run out of clams might serve French onion soup in lieu of chowder. The word lieu originally comes from the Latin locus, meaning "place," and its meaning has stayed true to its origins ever since.
lieu (ljuː; luː) n stead; place (esp in the phrases in lieu, in lieu of) [C13: from Old French, ultimately from Latin locus place]
Borrowed from Middle French lieu, from Old French leu, from Latin locum, accusative of locus (“place”). Doublet of locus. Attested earlier and in Middle English only as part of the partially calqued phrase in lieu of.
noun Place; room; stead: now only in the phrase in lieu of, which is equivalent to instead of. from the GNU version of the Collaborative International Dictionary of English.
"Lieu" is a French word adopted into English language and it is usually used in the phrase "in lieu of". It generally means "instead" or "in place of" and refers to something that is done or given as a substitute or replacement for something else.
Due to its unusual Francophonic spelling, many people misspell lieu (which appears most often in the phrase in lieu of) as loo or lue. We even have evidence for people assuming the phrase is inlu of.
