Etymology 1

From Middle Dutch remmen, from Old Dutch *remmen, from Proto-West Germanic *hrammjan, from Proto-Germanic *hramjaną. Historically derived from raam (“window, framework”) +‎ -en (“denominative”) affected by umlaut. However, most speakers won't perceive this assocation and would rather derive the verb from rem (“brake”) +‎ -en.
