reic

Irish

Etymology

From a conflation of two verb stems: Middle Irish rec(c)aid (“to sell, barter”),[1] from Old Irish rec(c), reic(c) (“selling, bartering”),[2] verbal noun of renaid (“to sell”), and Middle Irish rec(c)aid (“to recite, utter”)[3] from Old English reċċan (“stretch out; narrate”). The common thread is that peddlers and shopkeepers used to advertise their wares for sale by crying out loudly in public.
