"laetus" meaning in Latin

See laetus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: [ˈɫae̯.tʊs] [Classical-Latin], [ˈlɛː.tus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Unknown; possibly related to alacer (“happy, glad, cheerful”). Often compared to lardum (“fat, bacon lard”) and largus (“abundant, bountiful”), presupposing an earlier form *lai-to and earlier *lai-es, but De Vaan finds this reconstruction problematic.
