Etymology

The term 'rainier' is derived from the basic noun 'rain', which comes from Middle English 'rein', meaning falls of water. This word has Proto-Germanic roots, where it is related to Old Norse 'regn' and Old High German 'regan', both meaning 'rain'. The comparative form 'rainier' infers a status of being more susceptible to or having more rain than a standard reference point. The usage of the comparative form suggests a contextual understanding of rain in different regions, marking the variances in weather patterns across geographical areas. This relative description became common in meteorological contexts to convey the severity or abundance of rainfall.
