From Middle French laid "hideous, ugly" from Old French laid, leid "unpleasant, horrible, odious", of Germanic origin, from Low Frankish *laiþ "unpleasant, obstinate, odious" from Proto-Germanic *laiþaz (“sorrowful, unpleasant”), from Proto-Indo-European *(a)leit- (“unpleasant”). Akin to Old High German leid "unpleasant, odious" (German leid "unfortunate", Leid "grief"), Old Norse leiþr "odious", Old English lāþ "unpleasant, odious". More at loath.
