The form laid is indeed attested as a conjunction in the earliest sources. This view, however, has been recently criticized on the basis that Latvian lai, Lithuanian laĩ are clearly related to Old Prussian -lai, which is added to (usually infinitive) verbs to indicate volitive or conditional mood. This suggests a Proto-Baltic form *lai, probably related to the final -le of Latvian reinforcing particles jele ~ jel, nule, and (dialectal) nele, and to Old Prussian -le, apparently a variant of -lai. This *le would then have the same origin as Proto-Slavic *li (compare Polish li (“only”) Russian ли (li)), with cognates in other languages (Albanian, Tocharian) from a basic Proto-Indo-European *l-. After this criticism, the relationship between lai and laist has become unclear. Maybe Proto-Indo-European *l- was an old verb, or maybe laist was derived from an older particle.[1] [Particle] editlai 1.used to express an optative (wish) nuance: may, may it be that lai dabas spēkus gudrs cilvēks veic ― may the wise person lead the forces of nature lai visas dienas labus vārdus teic ― may all days bring (lit. say) good words lai viss sils izdegtu! ― may the whole (pine) forest burn! lai dzīvo! ― (long) may he live! hooray! tie ir trakāki par baroniem... velns lai viņus parauj! those (people) are crazier than the barons... may the devil take them! 2.used to express encouragement, agreement: let ja tu, Zane, nevari, lai paliek šovakar govis neslauktas ― if you, Zane, can't (do it), let the cows remain unmilked tonight draugi mani atkal uzaicināja medībās: “labi”, es teicu, “lai notiek; bet pēdējo reizi!” friends invited me again to hunt: “OK,” I said, “let it happen (= I'll go); but (for) the last time!” 3.used to mark third person imperative forms of verbs; sometimes used with the first person also: let “lai taču viņš iet”, Aina saka; “lai viņš iet, es arī neturēšu viņu, lai iet, lai iet” “but let him go,” Aina said, “let him go, I also won't keep him, let (him) go, let (him) go” lai vēlam putnam laimīgu lidojumu! ― let us wish the bird a happy flight! 4.used to give a nuance of indecision or doubt, especially in a question should, could ko lai viņam saku, kādu padomu lai dodu? ― what should I say to him, what advice should I give? man vajadzīgs padoms; es nezinu, pie kā cita lai griežos I need advice; I don't know who else I could turn to (but you) es prasu zemei, kur meklēt lai eju ― I ask the earth, where should I go to look for (it)? 5.(colloquial) used to add strength to a word or expression, to link it more tightly to the rest of the sentence Soklēns gribēja savus viesus uzjautrināt ar pajāšanos; segli lai bija iegādāti Soklēns wanted to cheer his guests up with some (horse) riding; the saddles were even ready (already) vasarā, kad būs āboli, vai tad nāksi ciemos? ar medu lai pacienāšu, jā? during the summer, when there will be apples, maybe then you will come visit? and I will also treat you with honey, yes? 6.used to reinforce a word, highlighting it among others tūliņ svied tās meijas nost un meklē rīksti rokā! vai lopi līdz vakaram lai kūtī stāv? throw those boughs away right now and go get your rod! are the animals really going to stay in the barn till night? 7.used, sometimes with nu or ir, to indicate tolerance of, or agreement with, someone else protams, mājās būs vēl nepatīkamāka saruna, to es zinu pavisam skaidri, bet lai! of course, at home there will still be an unpleasant talk, I know that very well, and how (= boy do I)! “lai nu, lai nu, Birkenbaum,” Grīntāls mierināja ― “OK, OK, Birkenbaum,” Grīntāls comforted (him) “esi gan tu muļķa meitene”, Karlīne zobojās; “a, lai ir!” Annele spītīgi atcirta “you are indeed a stupid girl,” Karlīne mocked; “ah, so be it!” Annele snapped angrily back lai jau būtu ― let it be, so be it [References] edit 1. ^ Karulis, Konstantīns (1992), “lai”, in Latviešu Etimoloģijas Vārdnīca (in Latvian), Rīga: AVOTS, →ISBN [[Maia]] [Noun] editlai 1.beach [[Mandarin]] [Romanization] editlai 1.Nonstandard spelling of lái. 2.Nonstandard spelling of lǎi. 3.Nonstandard spelling of lài.

[Etymology 2] editOrigin uncertain. Cognate with Occitan lais. Usually conjectured to be either of Germanic or Celtic origin. If from the former, probably from Frankish *laik (“game, sport, song, music”), related to Old High German leich (“song, melody, music”); if the latter, akin to Old Irish lóid, from Proto-Celtic *lûdi-, from Proto-Indo-European *lēw- (“to sound, resound, sing out”)[1], however the Oxford English dictionary calls a Celtic origin "out of the question".[2] [Etymology 3] editFrom Vulgar Latin *laitus, from Frankish *laiþ (“hateful”).

Several explanations exist. One derives it from Albanian ljaj, itself possibly from Latin flavus, but this is uncertain, and it may be that the Albanian is derived from Proto-Romanian (or Aromanian- compare the cognate laiu, lae in this language). Other theories suggest a Romanian root *gălai, from Latin galla or alternatively an etymology from labes (“fault, defect”), extending the meaning to "spot" and hence, "black" or "dark", but as it is a secondary meaning in Latin, this is not very likely. A more likely explanation may be a relation to the verb la (“to wash”), as lai is used mostly to describe the natural color of wool resulting from washing (compare the similar secondary senses of Spanish crudo, French écru).
