Pronounced as (IPA)

[ˈreː.tɛ]

From Proto-Italic *rēti-, of uncertain origin. Some theories: * From Proto-Indo-European *h₁reh₁- (“separate, loose”), related to rārus, Lithuanian rėtis (“sieve”). * Alternatively, borrowed from Semitic; compare Hebrew רֶשֶׁת (rešet, “net (for fishing and bird-catching)”), Ugaritic 𐎗𐎘𐎚 (rṯt, “net”).
