Slavic: some linguists suggested an Old Russian deity Sva-rog, which is quite unnatural, for Indo-European -g'- must have caused Slavic -z-; more reliable is Old Russian rez (profit) derived from the meaning "wealthy" of the same stem.
The first meaning of the word that is so spread in modern tongues, was "to lead right", "a leader" (Latin: Qualis rex, talix grex). That's why the meaning "right, correct" is much more ancient than the other one "wealthy, rich" which was born from the wealth of kings and leaders.
The words like English "direct" are also derivatives, coming from Latin dis-rego to Spanish derecho, Potuguese direito, Rumanian drept, Ladin dret, Catalan dret, French directe.
rei-: téci; lat. rívus řeka, angl. river, melť. renjvo; kelt. *reinos > gal. Rénos Rýn > lat. Rhénus, sthn. Rín > něm. Rhein
