Word: либи́вый,
Near etymology: ли́биво́й "хилый, слабый", либи́в, -а, либова́тый "невзрачный, незаметный", др.-русск., цслав. либивъ, либѣвъ λεπτός, gracilis, др.-чеш. libivý, liběvý "худой", кашуб. leby -- то же.
Further etymology: Родственно лит. líebas "хилый; тощий (напр. о лошади)", другая ступень вокализма: лит. láibas "тонкий", англос., др.-сакс. lêf "слабый, больной, немощный", но не лат. Libitīnа "богиня мертвых", вероятно, из этрусск. (В. Шульце (Lat. Eigenn. 480), Вальде--Гофм. (1, 794) против Хольтхаузена (KZ 48, 239); см. Буга, РФВ 67, 242; Траутман, ВSW 154; Бернекер 1, 716; М.--Э. 2, 401; Хольтхаузен, там же; IF 20, 323; Торп 571; Остен-Сакен, IF 33, 326). Др.-чеш. liběvý, согласно Ван-Вейку ("Slavia", 14, 510 и сл.), из *liběvъ от *liběti "худеть" -- образование, аналогичное величавъ. Далее сближают с лит. leĩlas "тонкий, стройный", лтш. liẽls "большой", лит. leĩnas "неупругий, некрепкий, слабый", lainas "тонкий, стройный", греч. λειρός ̇ ὁ ἰσχνός καὶ ὠχρός (Гесихий); см. Фик, ВВ, 1, 333; Бернекер, там же.
