Etymology

Hypothetically from a Proto-Italic *rajjā (perhaps < *ragjā), with unknown further origin. Parallels can be found in Germanic: Middle Dutch rogghe/rochghe (Dutch rog) and Middle Low German rugge, from Western Proto-Germanic *rugg-, as well as Old English reohhe, Middle English reyhhe, reȝge, rygh all meaning "ray". Taken together with the Latin, these forms could point to a dialectal Proto-Indo-European *raK- ~ *ruK- (“ray”); however, the phonetic correspondences are unusual even within Germanic, and this could indicate a loanword or substrate origin.
