Etymology
In summary
From Middle High German leit, from Old High German leid, from Proto-Germanic *laiþą, related to *laiþaz (“loath”). Cognate with Dutch leed, English loath. Originally unrelated with the verb leiden (“to suffer”), though the two stems early on began to influence each other. See leid for more.
