Etymology

From Proto-Germanic *in (“in, into”) + Proto-Germanic *laidijaną (“to lead, cause to go”), causative of Proto-Germanic *līþaną (“to go”), from Proto-Indo-European *leit-, *leith- (“to leave, depart, die”). Equivalent to in- (“in, into”) + lǣdan (“to lead”). Cognate with Old High German inleiten (“to introduce”).
