Etymology

From a merger of transitive / causative Old High German rennan (to make something run or flow) (from Proto-Germanic *rannijaną), and intransitive Old High German rinnan (to run or flow) (from Proto-Germanic *rinnaną). A similar development of merging roots can be seen in Dutch rennen and English run as well. See also German rennen.
