Where this word comes from

From Middle High German rein, which also appears in reinkurni, reinifano (“tansy”), Modern German Rainfarn, for this plant’s growing as field mark, from Old High German rein (“wall, baulk, ridge”), from Proto-West Germanic *rain, from Proto-Germanic *rainō. Cognate with Icelandic rein, Swedish ren, English rean (“ridge, furrow, gutter”), French rain, Lithuanian rai̇̃vė (“furrow”), Latvian riêva (“furrow”), Latin rīma (“slit”), all perhaps related to Proto-Indo-European *h₁reh₁- and the antecedents of Reihe, English row, as well as to reif, English ripe.
