Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: rather

Ereditato da inglese antico: hraþor

Affine olandese: radder

Affine olandese: rad

Affine tedesco: gerade

In summary

From Middle English rather, from Old English hraþor, comparative of hraþe (“soon, early, fast”). More at rathe. Cognate with Dutch radder (“faster”), comparative of Dutch rad (“fast; quick”), German Low German radd, ratt (“rashly; quickly; hastily”), German gerade (“even; straight; direct”). By surface analysis, rathe + -er.
