Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: riche n.
Etymology: < riche n., originally as the second element in compounds. For formations within Old English or inherited from Germanic compare e.g. kingrik n., heavenriche n., earthriche n., worldriche n., estriche n., bishopric n., archbishopric n. Later formations are rare: compare poperiche n., bailiric n., cardinalric n.For the variation in forms see discussion at riche n. The γ. forms (apparently recorded only in kingrik n.) are unexplained. In Old English also found in the names of kingdoms, e.g. Breotenrīce , Centrīce , Francrīce (compare German Frankreich ). The formation bailiric n. may simply show an alteration of bailiwick n.; compare also:1570 P. Levens Manipulus Vocabulorum sig. Kii v/2 There be dyuers other that ende in ricke, or wicke, signifying offices, which haue their latine..in atus, or in ura: as,..A Baylyrick, villicatus..A Baylywick, villicatura.
Forming nouns denoting the province, jurisdiction, or office of a specified person. In early use also used more widely to form nouns denoting realms or domains of the type specified by the first element, as heavenriche n., earthriche n., worldriche n., estriche n.
