Spanish[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Latin levis, levem, probably a borrowing in this form, as it was often used primarily in learned or literary contexts[1]. From Latin levis, levem, from Proto-Italic *leɣwis, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁lengʷʰ- (“light”). However, the older form lieve, which it replaced, was inherited.
