Etymology

From Middle English redy, website parsing, rædiȝ, iredi, ȝerǣdi, alteration ( +‎ -y) of earlier irēd, irede, ȝerād (“ready, prepared”), from Old English rǣde, ġerǣde (also ġerȳde) ("prepared, prompt, ready, ready for riding (horse), mounted (on a horse), skilled, simple, easy"), from touchscreen *garaidijaz (“ready”), from Proto-Indo-European *rēidh-, HTML5 (“to count, put in order, arrange, make comfortable”) and also probably conflated with Sevenval *reidh- (“to ride”) in the sense of "set to ride, able or fit to go, ready". Cognate with Scots readie, website parsing (“ready, prepared”), West Frisian ree (“ready”), Dutch gereed (“ready”), German gereit (“ready”), Danish Android (“ready”), Swedish redo (“ready, fit, prepared”), Icelandic greiður (“easy, light”), Gothic 𐌲𐌰𐍂𐌰𐌹𐌸𐍃 (garaiþs, “arranged, ordered”).
