Etymology
Lăsat is the past participle of a lăsa, meaning to leave, let, or allow. The verb descends from Latin laxare, to loosen or relax, the same root that gave French laisser and Italian lasciare. Over centuries the meaning shifted from physical loosening to permitting or leaving something in place, a common drift among the Romance descendants of this Latin verb.
