Let \Let\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Let (Letted (l[e^]t"t[e^]d),
[Obs].); p. pr. & vb. n. Letting.] [OE. leten, l[ae]ten
(past tense lat, let, p. p. laten, leten, lete), AS.
l[=ae]tan (past tense l[=e]t, p. p. l[=ae]ten); akin to
OFries. l[=e]ta, OS. l[=a]tan, D. laten, G. lassen, OHG.
l[=a]zzan, Icel. l[=a]ta, Sw. l[*a]ta, Dan. lade, Goth.
l[=e]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.]
[1913 Webster]

He . . . prayed him his voyage for to let.
--Chaucer.
[1913 Webster]

Yet neither spins nor cards, ne cares nor frets,
But to her mother Nature all her care she lets.
--Spenser.
[1913 Webster]

[1913 Webster]


2. To consider; to think; to esteem. [Obs.] --Chaucer.
[1913 Webster]


3. To cause; to make; -- used with the infinitive in the
active form but in the passive sense; as, let make, i. e.,
cause to be made; let bring, i. e., cause to be brought.
[Obs.]
[1913 Webster]

This irous, cursed wretch
Let this knight's son anon before him fetch.
--Chaucer.
[1913 Webster]

He . . . thus let do slay hem all three. --Chaucer.
[1913 Webster]

Anon he let two coffers make. --Gower.
[1913 Webster]


4. To permit; to allow; to suffer; -- either affirmatively,
by positive act, or negatively, by neglecting to restrain
or prevent.
[1913 Webster]

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.
[1913 Webster]

Pharaoh said, I will let you go. --Ex. viii.

28.
[1913 Webster]

is. --Shak.

5. To allow to be used or occupied for a compensation; to

a farm; to let a house; to let out horses.
[1913 Webster]


6. To give, grant, or assign, as a work, privilege, or
contract; -- often with out; as, to let the building of a
bridge; to let out the lathing and the plastering.
[1913 Webster]

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. " Your
elegant house in Harley Street is to let." --Thackeray.
In the imperative mood, before the first person plural,
let has a hortative force. " Rise up, let us go."
--Mark xiv. 42. " Let us seek out some desolate shade."
--Shak.
