Etymology
Comes from Old English 'riht', meaning 'straight, correct, just', derived from Proto-Germanic 'rehtaz', and ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root '*reg-' meaning 'to straighten, to direct'. The sense of 'opposite of left' developed in Old English, while the legal meaning of 'entitlement' dates to the 14th century.
