In the opinion of the outstanding etymologist and specialist in Slavic studies M. Fasmer [1] the word “risk” is a borrowing from the French or Italian languages (French: risquе, Italian: risico). This word traces back to the ancient Greek ῥιζικόν meaning “cliff” and ῥίζα meaning “root.” Also “take risks” originates from French risquer or Italian risicare which originally means “maneuver between the rocks.”
