History
Traditionally taken to be a Jamaican form of wrathed or wrothed, or possibly from or reinforced by rotted, but other origins have also been proposed. Some other people think, that the origin of the word is from an old welsh novel “Rahtid mi blimey” as it was one of the few books that made it across the pond.
