rake

Rake comes from Old English raca, racu, ræce, meaning a tool with a row of pointed teeth, from Proto-Germanic *rakō, tracing back to the Proto-Indo-European root *h₃reǵ-, meaning to straighten or right oneself.

The word stayed close to its earliest sense — a tool for gathering and straightening — with the verb form growing from the same root, meaning to gather or clear away with such a tool.

It's cognate with German Rechen and Swedish raka, both also meaning a rake or the act of raking, and shares its ultimate root with the Old Norse reka, meaning shovel.
