Etymology
Of uncertain origin. Some have tried to connect it to r?d?x. Tucker suggests Proto-Indo-European *nered?- (“extend forth, rise, outward”) akin to Sanskrit ?????? (vardhate, “rise, grow”), or from Ancient Greek ????? (árdis, “sharp point”). May ultimately be from Proto-Indo-European *reh?t- (“bar, beam, stem”).
