Origin of the word running

The word "running" traces its roots back to the Old English word "rinnan," meaning "to flow, run, or move quickly." This word is connected to Proto-Germanic "*rennō," and further back to the Proto-Indo-European root "*rehn-," which also gave rise to words like "rain" and "rein" due to their shared concept of flowing or moving.
