Etymology 2
From the same source as rīts, perhaps originally as the adverbial form of a related adjective. The meaning changed from “in the (following) morning” to “tomorrow” (cf. a similar case in Spanish mañana).[1]

Usage notes
Rīt is an adverb, meaning “tomorrow,” whereas rītdiena is a noun, meaning “(the day of) tomorrow.” Rīts, on the other hand, is a noun, meaning “morning.” The corresponding locative rītā can mean both “in the morning” (more frequently: no rīta) and“tomorrow” (more frequently: rīt).
