History
Etymology
From Middle English reysen (“to travel, journey, go on a military expedition”), probably from Middle Dutch reisen, resen (compare Old English rāsian (“to explore”)), ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *raisōn (“to set out, depart, journey”). Cognate with Danish rejse (“to travel”), Dutch reizen (“to travel”), German reisen (“to travel”), Norwegian reise (“to travel”), Swedish resa (“to travel”). See also reys.
