From de gmh leist foot trace, last, from de goh leist foot trace, last, from de gem-pro *laistaz. Cognate with nl leest, en last, sv läst. The originally strong noun became weak in Early Modern German (de der Leiste) and then strong again through generalisation of oblique -en (as usual in inanimate nouns).
