Etymology[edit]
Of uncertain origin. The original meaning is "to be lively". Likely from Proto-Indo-European *las- (“eager”); compare Latin lascīvus (“playful; lustful”) and perhaps Ancient Greek λῐλαίομαι (lilaíomai, “to desire; to be eager or anxious”). Alternatively, from Proto-Indo-European *leh₂s-; compare Proto-Slavic *làskati (“to caress, flatter”). Finally, perhaps borrowed from a foreign source.
