To let into

Let \Let\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Let (Letted (l[e^]t"t[e^]d),

l[=a]zzan, Icel. l[=a]ta, Sw. l[*a]ta, Dan. lade, Goth.
l[=e]tan, and L. lassus weary. The original meaning seems to
have been, to let loose, let go, let drop. Cf. Alas,
Late, Lassitude, Let to hinder.]
1. To leave; to relinquish; to abandon. [Obs. or Archaic,
except when followed by alone or be.]

2. To consider; to think; to esteem. [Obs.] --Chaucer.

3. To cause; to make; -- used with the infinitive in the
active form but in the passive sense; as, let make, i. e.,
cause to be made; let bring, i. e., cause to be brought.
[Obs.]
[1913 Webster]

Let this knight's son anon before him fetch.
--Chaucer.

4. To permit; to allow; to suffer; -- either affirmatively,
by positive act, or negatively, by neglecting to restrain
or prevent.
[1913 Webster]

Note: In this sense, when followed by an infinitive, the
latter is commonly without the sign to; as to let us
walk, i. e., to permit or suffer us to walk. Sometimes
there is entire omission of the verb; as, to let [to be
or to go] loose.
[1913 Webster]

6. To give, grant, or assign, as a work, privilege, or
contract; -- often with out; as, to let the building of a
bridge; to let out the lathing and the plastering.
[1913 Webster]

Note: The active form of the infinitive of let, as of many
other English verbs, is often used in a passive sense;
as, a house to let (i. e., for letting, or to be let).
This form of expression conforms to the use of the
Anglo-Saxon gerund with to (dative infinitive) which
was commonly so employed. See Gerund, 2. " Your
elegant house in Harley Street is to let." --Thackeray.
In the imperative mood, before the first person plural,
let has a hortative force. " Rise up, let us go."
--Mark xiv. 42. " Let us seek out some desolate shade."
--Shak.
