AS. randún. Probably from the ON. rönd. Germ. rant, the border or edge of

hence close or pressing. From this comes the Fr. verb, ‘randir,’ to
approach, rush towards a thing, and ‘randon,’ lit. rushing, and generally
‘haste, violence.’ See Burguy’s Grammaire, vol. ii. p. 323, whence the
above is derived
