Etymology 1

[edit]

Inherited from Old Norse réttr (right), from Proto-Germanic *rehtuz, *rehtaz (right, straight; morally upright, just), from Proto-Indo-European *h₃reǵtós (straightened, right, upright), from *h₃reǵ- (to straighten, right oneself; right, just) + *-tós (verbal adjective suffix).

The spelling with double "t" is borrowed from Norwegian Nynorsk rett. The original Riksmål spelling ret is from Danish ret.
