Adjective [Proto-West Germanic]

Etymology: Of unknown origin; the original sense probably referred to gentle physical movements, which then shifted to aural noise. Has been derived from a Proto-Indo-European *leys- (“small, mild”), and compared with Ancient Greek λιαρός (liarós, “tepid, mild”), λοῖσθος (loîsthos, “the last”), and Lithuanian líesas (“lean, skinny”), though more recent scholarship does not seem to support these comparisons.
