Etymology 1
From Middle English reden, from Old English r?dan (“to counsel, advise, consult; interpret, read”), from Proto-Germanic *r?dan? (“advise, counsel”), from Proto-Indo-European *Hreh?d?- (“to arrange”). Cognate with Scots rede, red (“to advise, counsel, decipher, read”), Saterland Frisian räide (“to advise, counsel”), West Frisian riede (“to advise, counsel”), Dutch raden (“to advise; guess, counsel, rede”), German raten (“to advise; guess”), Danish råde (“to advise”), Swedish råda (“to advise, counsel”). The development from ‘advise, interpret’ to ‘interpret letters, read’ is unique to English among Germanic languages. Compare rede.
