[edit] Etymology

From Old Norse rót (“‘root’”) from Proto-Germanic *wrot, from Proto-Indo-European *wrd- (“‘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).
