Etymology tree Proto-Indo-Iranian *wriHǰʰíš Proto-Iranian *wriHǰíš Proto-Iranian *wrinǰišder. Ancient Greek ὄρῡζα (órūza)der. Late Latin oryza Old Italian risoder. Old French risbor. Middle English rys English rice From Middle English rys, from Old French ris, from Old Italian riso, risi, from Medieval Greek ὄρυζα (óruza), from an Eastern Iranian language related to Middle Persian blnc (*brinǰ), Northern Kurdish riz (beyond Euphrates) and Zazaki riz. Theorized to have come to Iranian languages from Sanskrit व्रीहि (vrīhi). Prior to Sanskrit, it is speculated to be possibly a borrowing from a Dravidian language (compare Proto-Dravidian *wariñci (“rice”)), or from Austroasiatic languages further east. Alternatively Medieval Greek ὄρυζα (óruza) is said to be from Hebrew אורז (órez), from South Arabian areez ultimately from Old Tamil 𑀅𑀭𑀺𑀘𑀺 (arici). Doublet of arroz.
