noun · feminine · ō-stem

Meanings

  2. rest

Etymology

According to Kroonen, from the same root as *rēsōną (‘to rush’) and *rēsō (‘running, course, rush’), from Proto-Indo-European *Hre (h₁)s- (‘to flow, rush’) + *-teh₂. Alternatively compared to the root *h₁er(h₁)- (‘to rest’), though Kroonen does not favor this latter theory.
