Wekî (IPA) tê bilêvkirin

/reˈviːr/

Etîmolojî (Îngilîzî)

Ji Middle High German mîras hatiye girtin: riviere

Hevwate bi holendî: rivier

Hevwate bi îngilîzî: river

Hevwate bi fransî: rivière

In summary

Inherited from Middle High German riviere (“undeveloped area; hunting ground; river”), borrowed, probably through Middle Dutch riviere (“river; riverside used for hunting birds”), from Old French riviere (“idem”), from Latin riparia (“riverside”). Cognate with modern Dutch rivier, English river, modern French rivière.
The use as a proper noun goes back to the now-archaic designation rheinisch-westfälisches Kohlenrevier.
