Etymology

[ di-lA, dE- ] (noun.) 13th century. Middle English delaien from Anglo-Norman delaier from Old French deslaier from des- + laier "to leave", of Germanic origin--a conflation of Frankish *latjan "to delay, hinder" (from Proto-Germanic *latjan (“to delay, hinder, stall”) from Proto-Indo-European *le(i)d- (“to leave, leave behind”)) and Frankish *laibjan (“to leave”) (from Proto-Germanic *laibijanan (“to leave, cause to stay”) from Proto-Indo-European *leip- (“to remain, continue”)). Akin to Old English latian "to delay, hesitate" (from Old English latu "a delay, a hindrance"), Old English lǣfan (“to leave”). More at let, leave.
