Etymology(rice)

First attested in English in the middle of the 13th century, the word rice was a delicacy word when it derives from the Old French ris, which comes from Italian riso, in turn from the Latin oriza, which derives from the Greek ὄρυζα (oruza), ultimately from Sanskrit vrihi-s, "rice". The Greek word is the ultimate source of all European words (cf. Welsh reis, Ger. reis, Lith. rysai, Serbo-Cr. riza, Pol. ryz).^[5][6][7]
