Webster's 1828 Dictionary

LET

v.t.pret. and pp. let. Letted is obsolete. [To let out, like L. elocare, is to lease. ] 1. To permit; to allow; to suffer; to give leave or power by a positive act, or negatively, to withhold restraint; not to prevent. A leaky ship lets water enter into the hold. Let is followed by the infinitive without the sign to.
Pharaoh said, I will let you go. Exodus 8:28.
When the ship was caught and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive. Acts 27:15.
2. To lease; to grant possession and use for a compensation; as, to let to farm; to let an estate for a year; to let a room to lodgers; often followed by out, as, to let out a farm; but the use of out is unnecessary.
3. To suffer; to permit; with the usual sign of the infinitive.
There's a letter for you, Sir, if your name be Horatio, as I am let to know it is. [Not used. ]
4. In the imperative mode, let has the following uses. Followed by the first and third persons, it expresses desire or wish; hence it is used in prayer and entreaty to superiors, and to those who have us in their power; as, let me not wander from thy commandments. Psalm 119:1 .
Followed by the first person plural, let expresses exhortation or entreaty; as, rise, let us go.
Followed by the third person, it implies permission or command addressed to an inferior. Let him go, let them remain, are commands addressed to the second person. Let thou, or let ye, that is, do thou or you permit him to go.
Sometimes let is used to express a command or injunction to a third person. When the signal is given to engage, let every man do his duty.
When applied to things not rational, it implies allowance or concession.
O'er golden sands let rich Pactolus flow.
5. To retard; to hinder; to impede; to interpose obstructions. 2 Thessalonians 2:7.
[This sense is now obsolete, or nearly so. ]
To let alone, to leave; to suffer to remain without intermeddling; as, let alone this idle project; let me alone.
To let down, to permit to sink or fall; to lower.
She let them down by a cord through the window. Joshua 2:15.
To let loose, to free from restraint; to permit to wander at large.
To let in or into, to permit or suffer to enter; to admit. Open the door, let in my friend. We are not let into the secrets of the cabinet.
To let blood, to open a vein and suffer the blood to flow out.
To let out, to suffer to escape; also, to lease or let to hire.
To let off, to discharge, to let fly, as an arrow; or cause to explode, as a gun.

LET

Let, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Let (Letted, [Obs ].); p. pr. & vb. n.Letting. ] Etym: [OE. leten, læten (past tense lat, let, p. p. laten, leten, lete ), AS. lætan (past tense let, p. p. læten ); akin to OFries. leta, OS. latan, D. laten, G. lessen, OHG. lazzan, Icel. lata, Sw. låta, Dan. lade, Goth. letan, 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. Yet neither spins nor cards, ne cares nor frets, But to her mother Nature all her care she lets. Spenser. Let me alone in choosing of my wife. Chaucer.

 

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

 

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.

5. To allow to be used or occupied for a compensation; to lease; to rent; to hire out; -- often with out; as, to let a farm; to let a house; to let out horses.

 

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.

 

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.
