{{etym
|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. [[ῥᾳδίως]], Aeol. <b class="b3">βρα-ϊδίως</b> (Alc.), to which the adj. [[ῥηΐδιος]], [[ῥᾳδιος]] (like <b class="b3">μαψ-ιδίως</b>, <b class="b3">-ίδιος</b> a.o.); to this [[ῥᾳδιέστερος]] a. o. -- From [[ῥήϊον]], <b class="b3">ῥᾳ̃ον</b>: [[ῥηΐζω]], [[ῥαΐζω]], aor. <b class="b3">-ίσαι</b> [[to recover]] (IA.) and <b class="b3">ῥαΐαν ὑγείαν</b> H. From [[ῥήϊστος]], <b class="b3">ῥᾳ̃στος</b> : [[ῥῃστώνη]], [[ῥᾳστώνη]] f. [[recovery]], [[leisurely condition]], [[leisure]] (IA.); formation unclear, cf. Schwyzer IF 45, 259ff., Meid IF 62, 277. Further details in Schwyzer 467 a. 539, Wackernagel Verm. Beitr. 11ff. (= Kl. Schr. 1, 772ff.), Seiler Steigerungsformen 72f., Leumann Hom. Wörter 18 n. 10.<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: From ep. [[ῥῆα]] and Aeol. [[βρᾶ]] we reconstruct PGr. <b class="b3">*Ϝρᾶα</b>, which can stand for <b class="b3">*Ϝρᾶσ-α</b>, perhaps for <b class="b3">*Ϝρᾶι̯-α</b>; on the ending <b class="b3">-α</b> Schwyzer 622. No doubt old, inherited word, but without certain etymology. After Hermann Gött. Nachr. 1918, 281 f. prop. [[raisable]] (Lat. [[levis]] : [[levāre]]), to Lith. <b class="b2">viršùs</b> [[the upper]], Skt. <b class="b2">vársman-</b>'hight', to which also [[ἀπηύρα]], [[ἀπούρας]] (doubts in Kretschmer Glotta 11, 249). To [[ἀπηύρα]] (but further diff.) also Schwyzer IF 45, 259ff. Still diff. Specht KZ 59, 93ff.: to [[ἀραιός]] [[thin]] (s. Schwyzer 539 w. n. 3). Szemerényi, Welt d. Slaven (1967) 272f. connects Av. [[uruuaza-]] [[joy]], [[bliss]], from IE <b class="b2">*u̯radh-s-</b> (but then the [[-s-]] would have been preserved in Greek); Pisani Acme 8(1955)117f.<br />Meaning: plant name<br />See also: s.
