Pronunciation[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
From Middle High German leist (“foot trace, last”), from Old High German leist (“foot trace, last”), from Proto-Germanic *laistaz. Cognate with Dutch leest, English last, Swedish läst. The originally strong noun became weak in Early Modern German (der Leiste) and then strong again through generalisation of oblique -en (as usual in inanimate nouns).
Noun[edit]
Leisten m (strong, genitive Leistens, plural Leisten)
- last (tool for shaping or preserving the shape of shoes)
