From Middle English restar, restere, equivalent to rest +‎ -er.

   • 2013, Diane P. Koenker, Club Red: Vacation Travel and the Soviet Dream, page 136:

     Their ideal vacation experience made the rester the focus of care, the object of medical, cultural, and culinary attention.

• errest, erster, terser

From Middle French rester, from Old French rester, from Latin restāre. According to the Trésor informatisé, the Old French is a borrowing from Latin. What speaks in favour of this is the preservation of [st], which in a popular word should be simplified to [t] (yielding modern *rêter). Alternatively it could be inherited, but influenced by the Latin.
