[imp. & p. p. {Let} ({Letted} (l[ecr]t"t[ecr]d), [Obs].); p. pr. & vb. n. {Letting}.] [OE. leten, l[91]ten (past tense lat, let, p. p. laten, leten, lete), AS. l[aemac]tan (past tense l[emac]t, p. p. l[aemac]ten); akin to OFries. l[emac]ta, OS. l[be]tan, D. laten, G. lassen, OHG. l[be]zzan, Icel. l[be]ta, Sw. l[86]ta, Dan. lade, Goth. l[emac]tan, and L. lassus weary. The original meaning seems to have been, to let loose, let go, let drop. Cf. {Alas}, {Late}, {Lassitude}, {Let} to hinder.] 1. To leave; to relinquish; to abandon. [Obs. or Archaic, except when followed by alone or be.] He . . . prayed him his voyage for to let. --Chaucer.

To permit; to allow; to suffer; -- either affirmatively, by positive act, or negatively, by neglecting to restrain or prevent. Note: In this sense, when followed by an infinitive, the latter is commonly without the sign to; as to let us walk, i. e., to permit or suffer us to walk. Sometimes there is entire omission of the verb; as, to let [to be or to go] loose. Pharaoh said, I will let you go. --Ex. viii. 28. If your name be Horatio, as I am let to know it is. --Shak. 5.

Note: The active form of the infinitive of let, as of many other English verbs, is often used in a passive sense; as, a house to let (i. e., for letting, or to be let). This form of expression conforms to the use of the Anglo-Saxon gerund with to (dative infinitive) which was commonly so employed. See {Gerund}, 2.
