Where this word comes from

From ride (“to ride”) + -ning (“action/result-forming noun suffix”), from the longer infinitive form ride (“to ride”) of ri (“to ride”). The base verb is inherited from Old Norse ríða (“to ride”), from Proto-Germanic *rīdaną (“to ride”), from Proto-Indo-European *Hreydʰ- (“to set in motion, ride”), likely a suffixed form of *h₃reyH- (“to move, churn”). Compare Norwegian Nynorsk ridning, Danish ridning, Swedish ridning, German Reiten (“riding”) and English riding.
