rêver

See also: rever

French

Etymology

From Middle French resver, from Old French resver (to consider, reflect, be delirious), of uncertain origin. The Trésor de la langue française informatisé links it back either to an unattested *esver (to wander) or to Latin *reexvadō, from re- + ex- + evadō[1]. The Französisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch links it back to *reexvagus, hence the same as the first proposal by the Trésor de la langue française informatisé[2].
