Etymology: Formations like πυκ-ινός, πιθ-ανός a.o. (Chantraine Form. 197f., 201) from unknown basis (*ῥαδεῖν, *ῥάδος, *ῥόδος?). Since Düntzer KZ 13, 6 f. connected with the semant. sightly unclear περι-ρρηδής (s.v.); to this (Lobeck Paralip. 156) also ῥαδές τὸ ἀμφοτέρως ἐγκεκλιμένον H. It may also be connected with ῥάδαμνος (s.v.), with Düntzer (so to be separated from ῥάδιξ?). Further perh. also the Arc. PN Ϝράδων. Unclear ῥαδανῶροι οἱ τῶν λαχάνων κηπουροί H. (rejected by Bechtel Dial. 2,420; to be rejected v. Blumenthal Hesychst. 11). Improbable on ῥαδινός: ῥαδανός Güntert Reimwortbildungen 129. -- From other languages have been adduced: Skt. ávradanta 3. pl. ipf. approx. `loosened, made themselves loose (stagger?)' ἅπ. λεγ. (RV2,24,3); Germ., Goth. wraton ' πορεύεσθαι, διοδεύειν', OWNo. rata `id.'; also Lith. randù, ràsti `find' (s. Fraenkel s.v.); all hypothetic. Details in Bechtel Lex. s. περιρρηδής; older discussion by Curtius 352. -- (Hardly further to u̯er- `turn, bow' WP. 1, 273f., Pok. 1153.) -- The variation *u̯rad-\/u̯rod- shows that it is a Pre-Greek word.
