Etimologia (Inglese)

From Middle Dutch retorike, either directly from Latin rhētorica or indirectly via Middle or Old French, from Ancient Greek ῥητορική (rhētorikḗ), feminine form of ῥητορικός (rhētorikós, “concerning public speech”), from ῥήτωρ (rhḗtōr, “public speaker”). Folk-etymologically reinterpreted as a compound of rede (“reason”) + rijk (“rich”) + -er (denominative agent suffix).
