Etymology
In summary
From north-eastern Middle High German rase, probably from Middle Low German wrāse (“sod, turf”), though the two could also be cognate forms. Further origin presumably a variant of Middle Low German wāse, from Old Saxon waso, from Proto-West Germanic *wasō (“moisture, slime, muck”) which has been inherited as German Wasen. The intermitting r might be due to influence from dialectal forms of Brodem (“haze, fume”), notably Bratten, Wraten, Frādem, Frātem, Frāsem.
