† level-sicen.

Forms: Also 1500s leuell suse.

Etymology: apparently from an altered form of the French phrase lever le cul (see level-coil n.), in which assise (seat) was substituted, as more decent, for cul. Skelton's form may be due to association with French sus up.

Obsolete.

= level-coil n.
