rice

rice: [13] The word rice is presumably, like the plant it names, of oriental origin; its ancestor may well be represented in Sanskrit vrīhi-. It first appeared in Europe as Greek órūza. This passed into Latin as oryza, and eventually spread throughout the languages of Europe: French riz, Italian riso, Spanish arroz, German reis, Dutch rijst, Swedish and Russian ris, Welsh reis, Lithuanian rysai, English rice, etc.

rice (n.)

mid-13c., from Old French ris, from Italian riso, from Latin oriza, from Greek oryza "rice," via an Indo-Iranian language (compare Pashto vri?e, Old Persian brizi), ultimately from Sanskrit vrihi-s "rice." The Greek word is the ultimate source of all European words (Welsh reis, German reis, Lithuanian rysai, Serbo-Croatian riza, Polish ry?, etc.). Introduced 1647 in the Carolinas. Rice paper (1822), originally used in China, Japan, etc., is made from straw of rice.
