From Proto-Finnic *lebäit'äk, cognate to Finnish levätä. Possibly from Proto-Germanic *hliwjaną (compare Middle High German ge-liuwen (“to rest”)) or Proto-Germanic *slēpaną (“to sleep”) (compare Old English slæpan (“to sleep”)).
Originally a rarely-used dialectal word, but it was brought into the standard language in the example of Finnish.
