From Proto-Albanian *rāšja, from *(H)rōs-ye/o-, apparently a denominative of either Proto-Indo-European *h₁rṓs (from *h₁ers- (to flow; moisture, dew); compare Latin rōs (dew)) or a different root noun *h₁róh₁s (from *h₁reh₁s- (to run, rush); compare Old English rǣs (running, race), Latin rōrāriī (skirmishers), Ancient Greek ἐρωή (erōḗ, quick motion, rush)). Alternatively, a secondary formation from rashë (fell, struck).
