Etymology

From Proto-Indo-Aryan *raHíṣ, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *raHíš, from Proto-Indo-European *reh₁ís (“wealth, goods”). Cognate with Old Persian [script needed] (rāy-, “paradise, wealth”), Avestan 𐬭𐬁𐬫- (rāy-, “paradise, wealth”), Latin rēs. Doublet of रै (rai). Compare also Proto-Slavic *rajь, an Iranian borrowing.

Traditionally explained as if from the root रा (√rā, “to grant, give, bestow, impart, yield, surrender”).

Pronunciation
