Etimología (English)

Inherited from inglés medio: rein

Cognate with francés: rêne

In summary

From Middle English rein, reyne, borrowed from Anglo-Norman reyne, resne, from Early Medieval Latin retina, ultimately from Classical Latin retineō (“hold back”), from re- + teneō (“keep, hold”). Compare modern French rêne.
Displaced native Old English ġewealdleþer (literally “control leather”).
