Rice was first cultivated in the Far East as early as 10,000 years ago. From there, rice cultivation gradually spread westward. This movement is mirrored by the journey of the word for rice across languages. In English, the word rice comes from Old French ris, which was borrowed from Old Italian riso. That, in turn, derives from Byzantine Greek ὄρυζα (óruza).
