Etymology
Probably from Latin ērādīcāre, present active infinitive of ērādīcō (“root out, eradicate”) (and thus a doublet of the borrowing eradica). Another possibility is Late Latin or Vulgar Latin ridicāre (“tie a vine, e.g. in a vineyard”) (attested from a late gloss), from ridica (“stake; prop; vine-prop”); cf. also Spanish rodrigón. The semantic development in this case would pertain to how vines were set up in Romanian vineyards traditionally, using a trunk for the vines and stakes to support them; in the winter they would be lowered covered with a layer of earth to protect from the cold, but in spring would be raised again on the stakes or props. Less likely etymologies proposed include a Vulgar Latin *rigidicāre, from rigidus, or *adrecticāre[1]. Compare Megleno-Romanian rădic, ardic, ardicare.
