Etymology 1

From Middle Dutch rêse, reise, from Old Dutch *rēsa, from Proto-West Germanic *raisu. Distantly related to English rise and raise. The form with -ei- is expected only in south-eastern dialects; several sources suspect that it was reinforced by Middle High German reise, modern German Reise.
