"liesti" meaning in All languages combined

Verb [Lithuanian]

Forms: liẽsti [canonical], liẽčia [present, third-person], liẽtė [past, third-person]
Etymology: From Proto-Baltic *leyt- (whence also Latvian làitît (“to rub, whip, massage, caress”)), of uncertain further origin. Buck implicitly derives the Baltic from Proto-Indo-European *h₂leyH- (“to smear”) (by comparing to Latin linō (“to daub, anoint”)), while Chantraine, Pokorny, and Smoczynski tentatively connect the Baltic root to Ancient Greek λίσσομαι (líssomai, “to pray, beseech”), with the original form and meaning of the Greek term supposedly being *λιτ-yο-μια (*lit-yo-mia) and "to lovingly caress", from a Proto-Indo-European *leyt- (“to touch”). Rix favors this derivation, explaining the semantic shift in the Greek as "to touch the knees" > "to beseech"; however, Beekes is skeptical of the semantics.
