Latin

Alternative forms

• rētia, rētium

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *rēti-, of uncertain origin. Some theories:

• From a Proto-Indo-European *h₁reh₁- root, related to rārus, Lithuanian rėtis (“sieve”), and other roots with the general meaning "bind, twist".
• Or, for an alternative reconstruction *srēte, from serō (“to bind”).
• Alternatively, borrowed from Semitic; compare Hebrew רֶשֶׁת (rešet, “net (for fishing and bird-catching)”), Ugaritic 𐎗𐎘𐎚 (rṯt, “net”).

Pronunciation

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /ˈreː.te/, [ˈreːt̪ɛ]
