reic
Irish
editEtymology
editFrom a conflation of two verb stems: Middle Irish rec(c)aid (“sells, barters, exchanges”), from Old Irish rec(c), reic(c) (“selling, bartering”), verbal noun of renaid (“sells, barters, exchanges”), and Middle Irish rec(c)aid (“recites, utters, declares, asserts”) from Old English reċċan (“stretch out; narrate”). The common thread is that peddlers and shopkeepers used to advertise their wares for sale by crying out loudly in public.
