In summary

Inherited from Middle French delai, from Old French delai, delaie (“delay”), from delaiier, delayer, deslaier (“to put off, delay, offlet, drain”) (délayer in modern French), from des- + laiier (“to leave”), partly from Frankish *lattjan (“to delay, hinder”), from Proto-Germanic *latjaną (“to delay, hinder, stall”), from Proto-Indo-European *leh₁d- (“to leave, leave behind”), and partly from Frankish *laibijan (“to leave”), from Proto-Germanic *laibijaną (“to leave, cause to stay”), from Proto-Indo-European *leyp- (“to remain, continue”). Akin to Old English latian (“to delay, hesitate”), Old English lǣfan (“to leave”). More at delay.
