Phrasal Verbs
Etymology
1. O.E.
rendon "to tear, cut," from W.Gmc.
*randijanan (cf. O.Fris.
renda "to cut, break," M.L.G.
rende "anything broken"), related to
rind. Not found in other Gmc. languages.
2. From Middle English renden, from Old English rendan (“to rend, tear, cut, lacerate, cut down”), from Proto-West Germanic *(h)randijan (“to tear”), of uncertain origin. Believed by some to be the causative of Proto-Germanic *hrindaną (“to push”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱret-, *kret- (“to hit, beat”), which would make it related to Old English hrindan (“to thrust, push”). Cognate with Scots rent (“to rend, tear”), Old Frisian renda (“to tear”). See: Middle English '
renden', Proto-Germanic '
*hrindaną', Old English '
hrindan', Scots '
rent'.
