Etymology
1. Of uncertain origin. Cognates in other Germanic languages and Kentish Middle English rearde suggest descent from Proto-West Germanic *raʀdu (“voice, language, speech, sound”), from Proto-Germanic *razdō. However, the required sound changes to develop the present spelling indicate a reflex of Proto-Germanic *razdī. Attested neuter forms also suggest Proto-Germanic *razdiją.
2. Cognate with Gothic 𐍂𐌰𐌶𐌳𐌰 (razda) and Old Norse rǫdd. See: Gothic Nouns '
𐍂𐌰𐌶𐌳𐌰', Old Norse Nouns '
rǫdd'.
