Etymology:
From Middle Texan *rás, from Classical English rice, from Middle English rys, borrowed from Old French ris, in turn, borrowed from Old Italian riso (alternatively risi), from Latin oriza, borrowed once again from Byzantine Greek ὄρυζα (óruza; yielding Modern Hellenic υρζα), of unclear origin but probably from an East Iranian language, which is in turn, possibly from Sanskrit व्रीहि (vrīhi), then speculated to be of Dravidian descent, and finally, from an Austroasiatic language of some sort.
It is cognates with several American languages: Missippic ras; Georgian ras; South Floridian rase; Carolinian ros; Virginian róo; Appalachian ror; New Yorkian rois, lois; Pennsylvanian reih (and hence Standard American reis, via Literary Middle Pennsylvanian reis, reice) Ohioan rah; Californian rai; Cascadian ruis; and North New Englandic reisse.
