Looks like we can thank the Dutch language for that one

Looks like loose is from Germanic/Old Norse, "laus"

And lose is from Old English, "los"

Also looks like I can't stand to look at either of these words for a few day now.

From my tiny amount of research eventually it passed through the Dutch layer and ended up as "loose" from those origin points before being adopted into english

doesn’t matter what the root is. Just conform the spelling to fit your language’s rules
