What reach means
The distance or extent to which someone or something can stretch, extend, or be obtained.
Where the word comes from
From Old English "ræcan," meaning to stretch out or extend, this verb likely derives from Proto-Germanic "raikjan." The root suggests a sense of stretching one's arm or hand toward something. Related forms appear in Old Frisian and Old Saxon. The noun sense developed later, originally meaning the act of stretching, then extending to distance or range.
