reeingn. Origin: Apparently formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: ree v.1, -ing suffix1. Etymology: Apparently < ree v.1 + -ing suffix1, but compare discussion at that entry.The Middle English γ. forms could be interpreted either as showing disyllabic forms with a monophthongal stem, or alternatively as showing monosyllabic forms with a diphthong (and hence belonging instead at α. , showing assimilation and loss of the vowel of the second syllable). Perhaps compare also renge n.2 and range n.2, and discussion at ree v.1 English regional in later use. the world > food and drink > food > food manufacture and preparation > preparation of grain > [noun] > sieving > sieve or riddle α. 1378–9 in (1834) I. 72 (MED) Item, j reymgsife [read reyingsife] empt., v d. 1400 in J.
