Etymonline
Word Origin & History
reticulate
1658, from L. reticulatus "having a net-like pattern," from reticulum "little net," dim. of rete "net," which probably is cognate with Lith. retis "sieve," and from either the root of L. rarus "thin" or another PIE root meaning "twist, bind." Reticular is attested from 1597.
