Etymology

The word ‘leash’ comes from the Old French word 'lesen' which means to let loose or loosen, derived from the Latin 'laesare', meaning to harm or injure. It evolved in the Middle Ages to describe a strap or cord used to control animals, particularly dogs. Leashes became more common as dog ownership increased, particularly in urban areas where control over pets was necessary for the safety of both animals and people. By the 19th century, the modern concept of a leash as a tool for walking dogs became widely recognized, leading to various designs and materials used in leash manufacturing today. The evolution continues to focus on both style and functionality, catering to the needs of dogs and their owners.
