rich
English
Etymology
From Middle English riche (“strong, powerful, rich”), from Old English r??e (“powerful, mighty, great, high-ranking, rich, wealthy, strong, potent”), from Proto-West Germanic *r?k?, from from Proto-Germanic *r?kijaz (“powerful, rich”), from Proto-Celtic *r?xs (“king”), from Proto-Indo-European *h?re?- (“to straighten, direct, make right”).
Cognate with Scots rik (“mighty, great, noble, rich”), Saterland Frisian riek (“rich”), West Frisian ryk (“rich”), Dutch rijk (“rich”), German reich (“rich”), Danish rig (“rich”), Icelandic ríkur (“rich”), Norwegian and Swedish rik (“rich”). The Middle English word was reinforced by Old French riche, borrowed from the same Proto-Germanic root.
