|etymtx=Grammatical information: Adv.<br />Meaning: [[easy]] (Alcm., S.Fr. 1086, Ion. trag.).<br />Other forms: ep. [[ῥῆα]] (wr. [[ῥεῖα]]), [[ῥέα]] (monosyll. reading necessary or possible; so for Aeol. [[ῥᾶ]]?), Ion. [[ῥέα]] (Simon.), Aeol. [[βρᾶ]] ( = [[Ϝρᾶ]], gramm., [[ῥῆα]] in Alc. homerism or mistake of the tradit.).<br />Compounds: As 1. member in <b class="b3">ῥᾳ-θυμος</b> [[lighthearted]], [[carefree]] (Att.) from <b class="b3">*ῥαΐ-θυμος</b> (as <b class="b3">καλλί-ζωνος</b> a.o.), if not secondary for the well attested <b class="b3">ῥά-θυμος</b> (Wackernagel Hell. 26 = Kl. Schr. 2, 1057).<br />Derivatives: Comp.forms: comp. ep. [[ῥηΐτερον]], Ion. [[ῥῄτερον]] (Thgn.), Dor. [[ῥᾳτερον]] (Pi.), also Ion. [[ῥήϊον]], Att. <b class="b3">ῥᾳ̃ον</b>; to this [[ῥᾶσσον]] (gramm. in EM) after [[θᾶσσον]] (Seiler Steigerungsformen 73); sup. ep. [[ῥηΐτατα]], Ion. [[ῥήϊστα]], Dor. [[ῥάϊστα]] (Theoc.), Att. <b class="b3">ῥᾳ̃στα</b>. From the adv. arose the adj. forms [[ῥηΐτερος]], [[ῥήϊστος]], [[ῥᾳων]], <b class="b3">ῥᾳ̃στος</b>; from [[ῥῆα]], [[ῥᾶ]] the pos. <b class="b3">ῥη-ϊδίως</b>, Att.

[[βρᾶ]] we reconstruct PGr. <b class="b3">*Ϝρᾶα</b>, which can stand for <b class="b3">*Ϝρᾶσ-α</b>, perh. for <b class="b3">*Ϝρᾶι̯-α</b>; on the ending <b class="b3">-α</b> Schwyzer 622.
