Etymology
From Old Norse rót (“root”), from Proto-Germanic *wrōts, from Proto-Indo-European *wréh₂ds (“root”); compare with English wort and the Latin rādīx (“root”). Cognate with the Faroese rót; Old English rōt (whence the Middle English word root (“the underground part of a plant”) came, whence the English root came). See: Old Norse Nouns '
rót', English Nouns '
wort', Faroese Nouns '
rót'.
