Where this word comes from
Borrowed from German Rheinländer (“Rhinelander; reinlender dance”), originally “a person from the Rhineland”, from Rheinland (“Rhineland”) and the inhabitant-forming suffix -er, with umlaut. The dance name literally denotes a dance associated with the Rhineland. German Rheinland is from Rhein (“Rhine”) + Land (“land, country”). Rhein (“Rhine”) is inherited from Old High German Rīn (“Rhine”), from Proto-West Germanic *Rīn, from Proto-Germanic *Rīnaz, ultimately from Gaulish Gaulish Rēnos, from Proto-Celtic *reinos, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃reyH- (“to move, flow, run”). Doublet of rhinlender (“person from the Rhineland”). Compare Norwegian Nynorsk reinlendar, Danish rheinlænder and Swedish rhenländare (“reinlender dance”).
