Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Old English 'lǣfan', meaning 'to allow to remain, bequeath, or desert', of Germanic origin. It is cognate with Old Frisian 'lēva' and Gothic 'bileiban', sharing an ultimate root with the word 'life'. Over centuries, the meaning broadened from bequeathing property to general physical departure.
