леность

Russian edit

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *lěnostь, based on *lěnъ (“lazy”); compare Old East Slavic лѣнꙑи (lěnyi), Belarusian ляны́ (ljaný), Bulgarian лен (len), Serbo-Croatian ли̏jен, Czech líný, etc. By surface analysis, *лено́й (*lenój, “lazy”) +‎ -ость (-ostʹ), based on a no-longer existing adjectival form of лень (lenʹ, “laziness”), replaced in modern Russian with лени́вый (lenívyj) (but dialectal лено́й (lenój) is still found).

ле́ность • (lénostʹ) f inan (genitive ле́ности, nominative plural ле́ности, genitive plural ле́ностей)
