語源 2

Generally seen as borrowed from Old Norse lǫskr (“weak”) (from Proto-Germanic *laskwaz) or a related word, with simplification of /sk/ to /s/ like in Northern 中期英語 asse (“ashes”), although the lack of unsimplified forms (except for the ambiguous spelling lasce) is problematic.

However, Liberman, following a connection made by Björkman, instead suggests borrowing from a cognate of Old Danish las (“rag”); older proposals that he mentions deriving the word from 古期英語 lǣssa, 中期英語 lesse (“smaller”) or *laddesse, from ladde (“boy, lad”) +‎ -esse (“-ess”) are to be rejected.

The spelling laas is possibly due to the scribe of the Vernon Manuscript incorrectly guessing that this unfamilar Northern dialectal word had a long vowel when copying the Northern Homily Cycle (possibly due to the analogy of Etymology 1); there is no other evidence for a long vowel other than Middle Scots lais, which can be attributed to the late Middle Scots interchange of short and long vowel spellings.
