Where this word comes from
laskea + -iainen. Most likely, the sense of laskea used here is “to go down, descend”, referring to 'going down', i.e. entering Lent; it may also be used in the sense “to let” (i.e. 'letting Lent begin') or, less likely, “to count” for counting the number of days in Lent. Swedish fastlag may also have influenced the word formation due to the similar sound.
