Korea cultivated the first rice about 300 years before the Chinese. Throughout the years, rice was introduced to China in ancient times and was introduced to India before the time of the Greeks. Many people say China cultivated the first rice but recently archaeologists form Korea and the U.S discovered rice that was about 100-300 years older than the Chinese.
The word 'rice' has an Indo-Iranian origin. It came to English from Greek óryza, via Latin oriza, Italian riso and finally Old French ris (the same as present day French riz).
It has been speculated that the Indo-Iranian vrihi itself is borrowed from a Dravidian vari or the Tamil name arisi from which the Arabic ar-ruzz, from which the Portuguese and Spanish word arroz originated.
