Where does the word read comes from or which language?

The word "read" comes from Old English *rædan*, which meant "to advise, counsel, interpret, understand, guess, read."

Interestingly, the word has roots in Proto-Germanic *rēdaną*, which also meant "to advise, counsel, interpret." This shows how the meaning of "read" has evolved from "interpreting" to the more modern sense of "decoding written language."
