Definitions

  1. precipitate as rain

Word origin

Inherited from Middle English reyn, rein, from Old English reġn, from Proto-West Germanic *regn, from Proto-Germanic *regną, of uncertain origin. Possibly from pre-Germanic *Hréǵ-no-, from Proto-Indo-European *Hreǵ- (“to flow”), although the consonant reflexes don't match.

Used in a sentence

  • We've been having a lot of rain lately.
  • The rains came late that year.
  • This process involves cloud seeding – when various substances are put into clouds in an attempt to cause rain.
