History

Etymology

From Middle English reysen, raisen, reisen, from Old Norse reisa (“to raise”), from Proto-Germanic *raisijaną, *raizijaną (“to raise”), causative form of Proto-Germanic *rīsaną (“to rise”), from Proto-Indo-European *h1rey- (“to rise, arise”). According to Kroonen (2013), from Proto-Indo-European *h3er- (“to stir, rise”). Cognate with Old English rāsian (“to explore, examine, research”), Old English rīsan (“to seize, carry off”), Old English rǣran (“to raise”). Doublet of rear.

Borrowed from Old Norse hreysi; the spelling came about under the influence of the folk etymology that derived it from the verb.
