Etymology

From Proto-West Germanic *hratōn, from Proto-Germanic *hratōną (“to sway, reel, stagger, stumble”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kerd- (“to move, swing, jump”). Cognate with Old Norse hrata (“to fall, tumble, stagger, rush”). Compare similar yet unrelated Old English hraþian, hradian (“to quicken, hasten”).
