Where this word comes from
From Middle Dutch ruusschen, from Old Dutch *rūskon, from Proto-Germanic *rūskōną (“to rustle”), ultimately imitative. Cognate with German rauschen, Middle Low German rûschen, English rush. The now obsolete sense “to make noise” was due to confluence with unrelated druisen (whose unexpected -s- instead of -z- is due to the same reason).
