rinta

Finnish

Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *rinta, of Finno-Samic origin. Cognate to Estonian rind. Alternatively of Germanic origin, from Proto-Norse [script needed] (*strinða-) (compare Old Norse strind (“border, side, land”) and Norwegian strind (“slice, line, row”)). This is unlikely due to the difference in meaning.
