The etymology of raita is hard to source but since the traditional tool used to whip dahi smooth is called a rai in Hindi (what we Punjabis call a madani or mathani, to make mattha), there could be a verb that transforms and connects rai to raita. Another view, probably the correct one, is that the term for this relish comes from a combination of rai, the spice, and tikta or teekha, sharp (the taste); from Sanskrit *râjikâtiktaka, mustard pickle: râjikâ, black mustard — The Hindu.
