lest词源中文解释
约于1200年，“that not”特别是“为了避免”[OED 称其为意图的否定粒子]，来自古英语短语 þy læs þe，“the less that”的缩写形式，来自 þæt “that”的指示代词的工具格+连词 þe（参见 the）+ læs（参见 less）。þy 被省略，剩下的两个词缩成了早期中古英语 leste。
lest词源英文解释
Middle English les the, leste, from Old English thȳ lǣs the, from thȳ (instrumental of thæt that) + lǣs + the, relative particle
The first known use of lest was before the 12th century
