Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]A reduplicated and *ye-suffixed present, reconstructed as *li-lh₂s-ye-ti.[1] Α derivation from Proto-Indo-European *leh₂s- (“to be eager, desire”) has been proposed, and compared with Latin lascīvus (“luxuriant, wanton”) (whence English lascivious), Proto-Slavic *làskati (“to caress, flatter”), Sanskrit लस् (las, “to play, radiate”), and Proto-Germanic *lustuz (“lust”), but Beekes calls this "hardly possible", and expresses skepticism at all comparisons mentioned above.[2]
