Etymology of RIGHT

The word "right" traces its origins back to Old English. It comes from the Old English word "riht", which means straight, direct, or correct. This Old English term further originated from the Proto-Germanic word "*rehtaz", meaning straight or right. The word can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root "*reg-" or "*rekt-", signifying straight or to rule. These roots ultimately gave rise to various related words in other Indo-European languages, such as "recht" in German, "recht" in Dutch, and "rätt" in Swedish.
