Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (lʾt' /⁠rād⁠/), from Old Persian [script needed] (*rā́daʰ), from Proto-Iranian *HráHdah, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *HráHdʰas, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂réh₁dʰ-o-s, from *h₂reh₁dʰ- (to care) +‎ *-os.

Cognate with Old Avestan 𐬭𐬁𐬛𐬀𐬵 (rādah, generosity, care; generous), Vedic Sanskrit राधस् (rā́dhas, favour, generosity, gift), Proto-Slavic *raditi (to care about, to heed), Proto-Germanic *rēdaną (to decide, advise).
