Etymology

• The noun derives from Middle English ryme, rime (“number, rhyme, verse”), from a merger of Old English r?m (“number”) and Old French rime, ryme (“rhyme”). Old French rime is of uncertain origin: it may represent Latin rhythmus (“rhythm”), from Ancient Greek ?????? (rhuthmós, “measure, rhythm”); or Frankish *r?m (“number, series, count”), from Proto-Germanic *r?m? (“calculation, number”), from Proto-Indo-European *h?rey- (“to regulate, count”), cognate with Old English r?m above; or a conflation of the two. Cognates of Old English r?m include Old Frisian r?m (“number, amount, tale”), Old High German r?m (“series, row, number”), Old Norse rím (“calculation, calendar”), Old Irish r?m (“number”), Welsh rhif (“number”), Ancient Greek ??????? (arithmós, “number”). Middle Low German r?m (“rhyme”), Dutch rijm (“rhyme”), German Reim (“rhyme”), Norwegian rim (“rhyme”), Swedish rim (“rhyme”), Icelandic rím (“rhyme”) are from Old French.

• The verb derives from Middle English rymen, rimen, from Old English r?man (“to count, enumerate, number”), from Proto-Germanic *r?man?.

• The spelling has been influenced by an assumed relationship with rhythm. Whether this relationship exists is uncertain (as stated above).
