Where this word comes from

A borrowing, probably ultimately from Proto-Celtic *rūskos, in any case via Ancient Greek ῥίσκος (rhískos, “chest, trunk”). According to Beekes the change from the Celtic vowel is likely explained by the Ancient Greek word having been borrowed via Phrygian from Galatian.
