Etymology

Inherited from Middle High German: rosīn

Cognate with Dutch: rozijn

Cognate with Old French: raisin

Cognate with French: raisin

Cognate with English: raisin

In summary

From Middle High German rosīn, *rosīne, from Middle Dutch rosīne (whence Dutch rozijn), from Picard Old French *roisine, northern variant of Old French raisin (whence also French raisin and English raisin), from Late Latin racīmus, from Latin racēmus.
Within German, the word was originally chiefly Low and Central German, while Upper German dialects used the word Zibebe. It is therefore likely that the modern form with a monophthong (instead of expected Roseine, which does occur dialectally) was influenced by Middle Low German rosīne. An association with Latinate and French words in -ine is also possible.
