Arabic

Etymology 1

Surely borrowed, considered even by the medievals as from Persian رَخْت (raxt). Though the term be explainable from an Aramaic descendant of Proto-Semitic *raḥat- (“flat inner of the hand”) used transferredly for various flat tools, had the Arabic been borrowed directly thence it would probably have become **رَحْت (**raḥt).

Etymology 1

According to Bailey, from the root Proto-Iranian *rak- (“to prepare clothes”), from Proto-Indo-European *rek-, whence Sanskrit रच् (rac, “to make, fashion”). Cognate with Middle Persian (lyhtk /⁠raxtak⁠/, “clothes”), Khotanese (raha-, “dress”) and the Chinese 絡鞮／络鞮 (luòdī, “Iranian shoes”).

The meaning “right, true” is contaminated from راست (râst) due to the idea of a correctly furnitured house.
