LIEF, adv. supra. This word coincides with love, L. lubet, libet, and the primary sense is to be free, prompt, ready.
Gladly willingly freely used in familiar speech, in the phrase, I had as lief go as not. It has been supposed that had in this phrase is a corruption of would. At any rate it is anomalous.
