Etymology: Apparently a merging of two distinct words: (i) (represented by the α. and β. forms) Old English hrēoh (of weather) rough, stormy, cognate with Old Saxon hrē wicked, of uncertain origin; and (ii) (represented by the γ. forms) Old English rēow wild, perhaps cognate with Gothic riggws (in unmana-riggws wild, cruel), of uncertain and disputed origin. The two words already show merger in Old English, and the hybrid form hrēow is very common (compare quot. OE1 at sense 2b), especially as the second element of compounds, e.g. blōd-hrēow bloodthirsty, cruel, wæl-hrēow cruel, etc.In Old English the inflected forms of hrēoh regularly show loss of the voiceless velar fricative and contraction; this was very occasionally levelled to the nominative singular (compare hreo at α. forms). The β. forms reflect an alternative development with voicing of the velar fricative (originally only in inflected forms: compare Old English hrēog- ) on the analogy of words in which such alternation of voiceless and voiced fricative is etymological (compare enough adj. and see further A. Campbell Old Eng. Gram. (1959) §447). The forms of the word were perhaps also influenced by the Old English forms rūh, rūw-, rūg- of the unrelated, but semantically similar rough adj.
