From 中期英語 rote (“custom, habit, wont, condition, state”), further origin unknown. Found in the 中期英語 phrase bi rote (“by heart, according to form, expertly”), c. 1300. Some have proposed a relationship either with Old French rote/rute (“route”), or Latin rota (“wheel”) (see rotary), but the OED calls both suggestions groundless. Another explanation might be the metaphorical comparison between anything repetitive and playing the rote.
rote (uncountable)
rote (comparative more rote, superlative most rote)
rote (third-person singular simple present rotes, present participle roting, simple past and past participle roted)
From Old Norse rót n (“tossing, pitching (of sea)”), perhaps related to rauta (“to roar”); see hrjóta. Compare 中期英語 routen (“to roar, bellow, storm, rage, howl”).
rote (uncountable)
From 中期英語 rote, from Old French rote, probably of German origin; compare Middle High German rotte, and English crowd (“a kind of violin”).
rote (plural rotes)
rōte
From Late 古期英語 rōt, rōte, from Old Norse rót, from Proto-Germanic *wrōts, from Proto-Indo-European *wréh₂ds. Doublet of wort (“plant”). See more at English root.
Unknown. Sometimes connected to Old French route (“route”) or Latin rota (“wheel”), but OED rejects both comparisons.
Borrowed from Old French rote, from Latin chrotta, borrowed from a Germanic form such as Old High German hruoza, borrowed itself from a Celtic term deriving from Proto-Celtic *kruttos; compare Welsh crwth. A doublet of crowde.
