    letting
    [ noun ]
    property that is leased or rented out or let
    <noun.possession>


    Let \Let\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Let} ({Letted} (l[e^]t"t[e^]d),
    [Obs].); p. pr. & vb. n. {Letting}.] [OE. leten, l[ae]ten
    (past tense lat, let, p. p. laten, leten, lete), AS.
    l[=ae]tan (past tense l[=e]t, p. p. l[=ae]ten); akin to
    OFries. l[=e]ta, OS. l[=a]tan, D. laten, G. lassen, OHG.
    l[=a]zzan, Icel. l[=a]ta, Sw. l[*a]ta, Dan. lade, Goth.
    l[=e]tan, 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.]

    cause to be made; let bring, i. e., cause to be brought.
    [Obs.]

    Let this knight's son anon before him fetch.

    4. To permit; to allow; to suffer; -- either affirmatively,
    by positive act, or negatively, by neglecting to restrain
    or prevent.

    Note: In this sense, when followed by an infinitive, the
    latter is commonly without the sign to; as to let us
    walk, i. e., to permit or suffer us to walk. Sometimes
    there is entire omission of the verb; as, to let [to be
    or to go] loose.

    28.

    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.
