Etymology 1

edit

Inherited from Old Norse réttr (“right”), from Proto-Germanic *rehtuz, *rehtaz (“right, straight; morally upright, just”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₃reǵtós (“straightened, right, upright”), from *h₃reǵ- (“to straighten, right oneself; right, just”) + *-tós (“verbal adjective suffix”).

The spelling with double "t" is borrowed from Norwegian Nynorsk rett. The original Riksmål spelling ret is from Danish ret.
