Where this word comes from
From Proto-Italic *regō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃réǵeti (“to straighten; right”), thematic present of root *h₃reǵ- (“to straighten”). Cognate with Sanskrit राजति (rā́jati, “to direct; to steer; to rule”). De Vaan suggests that the s-perfect probably continues a Proto-Indo-European s-aorist. Likewise, Rix reconstructs a form *h₃rḗǵst, which may also be the source of Ancient Greek ὤρεξα (ṓrexa). However, Festus records that the Old Latin writer Livius Andronicus utilized the perfect form subrēgit instead of surrēxit. According to the linguist Michael Weiss, this old form may indicate that the original perfect stem of the verb was *rēg-, which Weiss traces back to a Narten-type present. Given the productivity of sigmatic perfects in Latin, it is far more likely that rēgī is the more ancient form.
