  • de Vaan, Michiel: 520-522
    Cf. s.v. Lat. reus 'party in a lawsuit; defendant', from PIE *Hreh₁-i-unt- 'possessing wealth'?. Connected with Lat. rēs 'property, goods, thing, affair' from PIE *Hreh₁-i- 'wealth, goods' (cf. Skt. rayí- 'property, goods', Av. raii-i- 'wealth'). The root is probably the same as that of IIr. aor. *rā-s- 'bestow'.
