Etymology

The noun **laid** is a direct borrowing from the Old French adjective *laide* (“ugly”), itself derived from a Late Latin form *laida* that probably comes from a Proto‑Germanic root *laid‑ “ugly, contemptible”. In Old French the adjective was used as a noun to denote an ugly or lowly person or thing, a usage that survived into Modern French as an archaic or literary noun meaning “an ugly person or thing”.
