Etymology
1. From hypothetical Proto-Italic *lentos (“soft”), from Proto-Indo-European *lentos (“soft, smooth, pliant”), likely related to Proto-Indo-European *lentéh₂ (“linden, lime(-wood)”), and cognate with Proto-Germanic *lindō (“linden”) (whence English linden), Proto-Balto-Slavic *lentā́ˀ (whence Lithuanian lentà (“(linden) board”), Russian лут (lut, “(linden) bast”)), Albanian lëndë (“wood, material”), as well as perhaps Sanskrit लता (latā, “tendril, creeper”).
2. Compare also lēnis, with similar sound and meaning but different origin.
