laissier
Old French
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Latin laxō, laxāre (“to relax, loosen”); also possibly partly from or influenced by Old High German lāzan (“to let, let go, leave”) (German lassen), from Proto-West Germanic *lātan (“to let, leave, leave alone”). There was also an Old French verb laiier, with the same meaning and sometimes considered a variant form, which may have come instead from Frankish *laibijan.
Verb
[edit]laissier
- to allow; to permit
- c. 1250, Marie de France, Guigemar:
- Kar ne se volt laissier murir
- Because he didn't want to let himself die
- to leave (not prohibit)

[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Old French laissier, from Latin laxō, laxāre (“to relax, loosen”); partly from or influenced by Old High German lāzan (“to let, let go, leave”) (German lassen), from Proto-West Germanic *lātan, from Proto-Germanic *lētaną (“to let, leave, leave alone”), from Proto-Indo-European *leh₁d- (“to leave, let”).
Conflated also with Old French laiier (“to leave, abandon, allow”) (compare Old Occitan laihar, laiar, Old Northern Italian lagare), also of Germanic origin, from Gothic 𐌻𐌰𐌲𐌾𐌰𐌽 (lagjan, “to lay, let lie, leave”), from Proto-Germanic *lagjaną (“to lay”). More at let, lay.
