The English verb "to lead" comes from Middle English leden, from Old English lǣdan;(cause to go with one, lead, guide, conduct, carry; sprout forth; bring forth) akin to Old High German leiten (to lead), Old English līthan (to go) "Leading" is "influencing, guiding in direction, course, action, opinion."
