Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Uncertain, though apparently onomatopoeic of leaves moving in the wind.[1]

Others have taken the word as a variant (with formative k) of *rūsōną (“to storm, whiz, roar, make a noise, be fierce”), from Proto-Indo-European *rews-, *rewH- (“to move, drive, agitate”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “what are some proposed cognates for this theory?”)
