[ˈriː.de.oː], [ˈriː.de.o]
OrigoUncertain origin. Roberts assigns Proto-Indo-European *wert- in the sense of turning the mouth to smile; De Vaan finds no credible Indo-European origin and rejects connections to Sanskrit व्रीडते (vrīḍate, “to be shy, bashful”).
Matasović connects this with Proto-Germanic *wrītaną (“to scratch”).
