Where this word comes from

Inherited from Middle Dutch rīmen which is a merger of: * Old Dutch *rīman, from Proto-West Germanic *rīman, from Proto-Germanic *rīmaną (“to count”), a strong verb. * Old Dutch *rīmen, from Proto-West Germanic *rīmijan, a weak verb. Analysable as rijm + -en. In Middle Dutch the verb could still be declined as a strong verb.
