The word "rice" is derived from the Old French word "ris," which comes from Italian "riso," and ultimately from Latin "oryza." The Latin word itself is derived from Greek "ὄρυζα" (oryza), which is thought to have been borrowed from the Dravidian languages of South India. This linguistic evolution reflects the long history of rice cultivation and trade across different cultures and regions.
