English

Etymology

From Middle English renden, from Old English rendan (“to rend, tear, cut, lacerate, cut down”), from Proto-Germanic *hrandijan? (“to tear”), of uncertain origin. Believed by some to be the causative of Proto-Germanic *hrindan? (“to push”), from Proto-Indo-European *?ret-, *kret- (“to hit, beat”), which would make it related to Old English hrindan (“to thrust, push”). Cognate with Scots rent (“to rend, tear”), Old Frisian renda (“to tear”).
