REIN

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 55 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
REIN , a guiding or controlling
leather
  strap or thong, attached to the bit of a ridden or driven
horse
  (see SADDLERY). The word is taken from the O. Fr. rene,
modern
  rem, and is usually traced to a supposed
Late
  Latin substantive retina formed from retinere, to hold back, restrain, cf. classical Latin retinaculum, halter. The word, usually in the plural, has been often used figuratively, as a type of that which guides, restrains or controls, e.g. in such phrases as the " reins of government," &c. The " reins," i.e. the kidneys (Lat. renes, cf. Gr. 4piiv, the midriff), or the
place
  where the kidneys are situated, hence the loins, also, figuratively, the seat of the emotions or affections, must be distinguished.
