Definition rich

Etymology

From Middle English riche (“strong, powerful, rich”), from Old English r??e (“powerful, mighty, great, high-ranking, rich, wealthy, strong, potent”), from Proto-Germanic *r?kijaz (“powerful, rich”), probably from Proto-Celtic *r?gos (“of a ruler or king”, genitive case), from Proto-Indo-European *h?re?- (“to straighten, direct, make right”). Cognate with Scots rik (“mighty, great, noble, rich”), Saterland Frisian riek (“rich”), West Frisian ryk (“rich”), Dutch rijk (“rich”), German reich (“rich”), Danish rig (“rich”), Icelandic ríkur (“rich”), Norwegian and Swedish rik (“rich”). The Middle English word was reinforced by Old French riche, from the same Proto-Germanic root.
