Etymology

edit

From north-eastern Middle High German rase, probably from Middle Low German wrāse (sod, turf), though the two could also be cognate forms. Further origin presumably a variant of Middle Low German wāse, from Proto-Germanic *wasô, *waisǭ (slime, muck) which has been inherited as German Wasen.[1] The intermitting r might be due to influence from dialectal forms of Brodem (haze, fume), notably Bratten, Wraten, Frādem, Frātem, Frāsem.[2]
