[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. Αβέβαιης ετυμολ. Κατά την επικρατέστερη άποψη < λοιhισ-θFoς, σύνθ. λέξη της οποίας το α' συνθετικό συνδέεται ετυμολ. με το συγκριτικού βαθμού γερμ. lais-iz «λιγότερος» και με το αγγλ. less «λιγότερος», ενώ το β' συνθετικό με τα θέω «τρέχω», θοός «γρήγορος». Η αρχική σημ. θα ήταν επομένως «εκείνος που τρέχει λιγότερο γρήγορα».

Frisk Etymological English

1.
Grammatical information: adj.
Meaning: the last (Ψ 536).
Derivatives: λοίσθιος (Pi., trag., Theoc., A. R.), (τὸ) λοίσθιον adv. at last. λοισθήϊος regarding the last, (τὰ) λοισθήϊα the last price (Ψ 785, 751; as ἀριστήϊον, -ϊα; cf. Risch 46); λοίσθημα τέλος, πέρας H. (on the nominal deriv. Chantraine Form. 178). Unclear λοίσθωνας τοὺς ἀκρατεῖς περὶ τὰ ἀφροδίσια H. and λοισθώνη ἡ θρασεῖα Suid. - Details in Seiler Steigerungsformen 121; on λοῖσθος: -ιος also Chantraine 37.
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: No etymology. Al suggested explanations are unconvincing: from *λοιhισ-θϜ-ος "the weakest in the course" to θέω and Germ. *laisiz less in NEngl. less a. o. (Osthoff MU 6, 314ff.); from *λοιhισ-τος (WP. 2, 388; rejected by Schwyzer 537 n. 7); to Lith. léidžiu, léisti let, Lat. lūdus game etc. (Danielsson Altital. Stud. 4, 171ff.; Person Beitr. 2, 711 n. 1 a. 962, Brugmann IF 18, 433ff.; in details diff.); from *λοhισ-τος to Goth. las-iws weak, powerless etc. (Solmsen IF 13, 140ff.).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: Ngr. λοστός lever, (Hebe-eisen?) seems to suppose an orig. λοϊσθός, s. Georgacas Glotta 36, 168. Further unclear; guess by Persson Beitr. 2, 962 (on p. 711 n. 1): to Latv. laides Bretter am oberen Rand eines Kahnes (after Mühlenbach-Endzelin as "Eingelassenes, Ausgebreitetes" from laĩst let).
