In my opinion there is no such thing in Hebrew as "comes from". One word does not "come from" another word. If ראש RO$, 'head', "comes from"  ראה RAAH, 'see', then by this plan of things רעש RAA$, 'rattle', "comes from" רעה RAAH, 'pasture'.

ראש meaning head comes from ראה meaning "the place of seeing"
