Etymology

Uncertain. Perhaps representing a variant or derivative of unrecorded *remman (compare Old English fremian ~ fremman), from Proto-West Germanic *rammijan, from Proto-Germanic *rammijaną (“to make strong”), cognate with Old Norse remma (“to make strong, bind up”); or related to Old Frisian remia, ramia (“to build up, erect”), from Proto-West Germanic *hramu (“frame, framework”).
