词源
lethal (adj.)”causing or resulting in death,” 1580s, from Late Latin lethalis, alteration of Latin letalis “deadly, fatal,” from lethum/letum “death,” a word of uncertain origin. According to de Vaan, from Proto-Italic *leto-, which is perhaps a noun from a PIE past participle of a verb meaning “let, let go,” on the notion of death as “a letting go.” If so, related to Old Church Slavonic leto “summer, year” (from notion of “going”), Russian leto “summer,” (pl.) “age, years;” Russian let’ (archaic) “it is possible, allowed;” Old Norse lað, Old English læð “land,” Gothic unleds “poor.” The form altered in Late Latin by association with lethes hydor “water of oblivion” in Hades in Greek mythology, from Greek lethe “forgetfulness” (see Lethe).Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
lethal(形容词)“导致或导致死亡”,1580年代,源自晚期拉丁语lethalis,拉丁语letalis“致命的,致命的”的变化,来自lethum/letum“死亡”,这是一个来源不确定的词。根据 de Vaan 的说法,这个词来自原始斜体 *leto-,这可能是一个来自 PIE 动词过去分词的名词,意思是“让,放手”,死亡的概念是“放手”。如果是这样,则与古教会斯拉夫语leto“夏天,年”(来自“去”的概念)相关,俄语leto“夏天”,(复数)“年龄,年;”俄语let’(古语)“这是可能的,允许的;”古挪威语 lað,古英语 læð “土地”,哥特语 unleds “贫穷”。该形式在后期拉丁语中发生变化,与希腊神话中哈迪斯中的lethes hydor“遗忘之水”相关,源自希腊语lethe“健忘”(参见Lethe)。相关条目及更多
