Origin:
The word "rive" traces its origins back to the Latin word "ripa," which referred to the bank or shore of a river. The Latin word, in turn, is thought to be derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *rep- ("to break, tear").
In Old French, the word "rive" was used to refer to the banks of rivers, and it eventually came to mean the edge or boundary of any body of water. The word was borrowed into English in the 13th century.
