"etymology_text": "From Proto-Baltic *lētas, from Proto-Indo-European *leh₁- (“to let, to allow, to permit, to tolerate”) (whence also Latvian lēns (“slow”), q.v.) with an extra suffix -to. The semantic evolution was probably: “loose, slack, tired” (“allowed to go down”) > “slow” > “light, easy” (the basic meaning in 17th-century texts) > “easy to purchase” > “cheap” (by the mid-18th century). The earlier meaning of “light, easy” can still be seen in compounds like lētticīgs (“credulous; who believes easily”) and in some uses of the adverbial form lēti. Cognates include Lithuanian lė̃tas (“slow, calm, gentle”), Latin lētum (“death, end, ruin”).",
