royn.2adj.

Forms: Middle English–1500s roye, Middle English–1600s roy.
Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French roy.
Etymology: < Middle French roy, Anglo-Norman and Middle French, French roi king (c1170 in Old French; late 10th cent. as rei ; also in Anglo-Norman as rei , rai , raie ray n.7; compare also Old French rex (880)) < classical Latin rēg- , rex rex n.1 Compare Old Occitan rei (c1200), re , reg (both early 13th cent.), reig (13th cent.), rey (c1300), Catalan rei , †rey (both 13th cent.), Spanish rey (late 10th cent.; also late 10th cent. as †reie ), Portuguese rei (1101), Italian re (13th cent.). Compare ray n.7 and also roy n.1, which may represent a slightly earlier use of this word in a different sense.In early Old French the usual form of this word was rei ; Old French, Middle French roi , roy is the result of a sound change of -ei- to -oi- which occurred during the course of the 12th cent. in central and northern dialects of Continental French. In Anglo-Norman, forms in -ei- , -ai- remained and were borrowed into English as ray n.7 The Anglo-Norman forms in -oi- are probably the result of secondary influence from the Continental forms (as reflected also in personal names recorded in England from the 12th cent. onwards, as e.g. Roi de Scallebi (1188), Adam le Roy (1268), etc.). Compare royal adj. beside real adj.1, and see further M. K. Pope From Lat. to Mod. French (1934) §§226, 1188, I. Short Manual of Anglo-Norman (2007) §12.1.
