what is the old english meaning of lent?
good friday
the english word "lent" is a shortened form of the old english word , meaning "spring season", as its dutch language cognate (old dutch ) still does today. a dated term in german, (old high german ), is also related. according to the "oxford english dictionary", 'the shorter form (? old germanic type *"laŋgito"- , *"laŋgiton"-) seems to be a derivative of *"laŋgo"- long ... and may possibly have reference to the lengthening of the days as characterizing the season of spring'. the origin of the -"en" element is less clear: it may simply be a suffix, or "lencten" may originally have been a compound of *"laŋgo"- 'long' and an otherwise little-attested word *-"tino", meaning 'day'.
