START RahTSAh Resh-Tsadi-Aleph
RUTS-ah רצא [R-TS à ST-R]
ROOTS: START (to begin something) is thought to come from a projected Old English root styrtan , to leap up , which came from a root meaning " to move briskly, move stiffly."
The ingenious Indo-European (IE) "root" for START is ster-1 (stiff). START is made a cognate of STARVE, since one who dies from any number of reasons becomes stiff. Pretty nifty logic, eh? If one prefers a tad livelier etymon, read on.
רוץ RahTS is the infinitive to run. See "RACE." רצא RaTSAh is running (Ezekiel 1:14). We run, RACE or RUSH to do what we desire; RUSH is somehow traced to Latin recusāre, to reject. רצה RoTSeH is desire, wish; more like being pleased in Genesis 33:10. LUST is a liquid shift away, see "LUST."
רצון RaTSOAN means will (Exodus 28:38) The sense of strong- willed, רצני RiTSeeNeeY (serious), is post-Biblical, but is confirmed as Edenic by Arabic razin, serious – see "EARNEST."
רצד ReeTSaiD is to leap (Psalms 68:17). (See line #2 above.)
Think "STARTING BLOCK" of a race, and the JUMP-START of will to begin a new task. But if you are a stiff, possibly with a PhD in Humanities, you will reject reversing ר-צ Resh-Tsadi/R-ST, even though Semitic flows from right-to-left. This NON-STARTER may be called antiSemiticism.
BRANCHES: Other alleged cognates of START include CHOLESTEROL, STARE, STARK-NAKED,STARCH, STARTLE, STEREO-, STORK, STERN (see "STERN"), STRUT and TORPEDO, TORPID and TORPOR.
Not all of these are way off the mark. To receive a START, a STARTLED reaction, is traced to Old English steartlian, to kick, to struggle. This ST-R word is born of רצץ RaTSaTS, "to dash, to struggle" [Harkavy], the fetal infighting of Jacob and his wombmate Esau in Genesis 25:22. We get a STARTLING sense that the word STRUGGLE, now merely traceable to Middle English struglen, may be combining the ר-צ Resh-Tsadi/R-ST of contesting with a ר-ג Resh-Gimel element of kicking out with the רגל ReGeL (LEG).
Welsh Taeru (contend, wrangle) is a reverse of התרוצץ HiTRoaTSaiTS, to struggle together, to push one another (Ben-Yehuda).
The Western Mind and the IE "root" of STERN equates "will" with steadfastness, while the Edenic ר-צ Resh-Tsadi etymon links desire, an excess of will, to running. Humans especially run in the mad bloodlust or desire for violence. Thus the ר-צ Resh-Tsadi in רצח ReTSa[K]H (murder -- Deuteronomy 4:42), running with the will to kill – see "ROTATE." ר-צ Resh-Tsadi may also be seen at "ORDER," "PESTER, "ROTATE," "STERN" and "TORRENT."---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
