𐌻𐌹𐍄𐌴𐌹𐌽𐍃

Gothic

Etymology

Uncertain. Perhaps from Ancient Greek λιτή (litḗ), λιτανεία (litaneía) or some closely related word. Contains the Gothic deverbal suffix -𐌴𐌹𐌽𐍃 (-eins), but semantically difficult to reconcile with *𐌻𐌹𐍄𐌾𐌰𐌽 (*litjan) (found in 𐌼𐌹𐌸𐌻𐌹𐍄𐌾𐌰𐌽 (miþlitjan)) meaning "feign, dissemble". This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
