Etymology
From Middle English rowsen, rouzen, rusen (“to rush out”), from Old Norse *rūsa (“to storm out, rush”), from Proto-Germanic *rūsaną (“to bluster, be fierce, storm”), from Proto-Indo-European *(o)rewǝ- (“to move, drive, agitate”). Cognate with Swedish rusa (“to rush, hurry, dash, scurry”), Danish ruse (“to rush”), Middle Dutch rūsen (“to race, rage”), Middle Low German rūsen (“to rush, bluster, make a clamour”). More at rush.
