Latin[edit]
Etymology[edit]
On the traditional view an unexplained derivation from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rewdʰ- (“red”), whence also rubeō, ruber, rōbus, rōbur, rūfus, russus.[1]
More recently, Prósper cites Schaffner 2016–2017 in seeing it as continuing Proto-Indo-European *h₂ruti-, from *h₂rew- (“to shine”), whence also the gentilic name Rutīlius, the tribal name Rutēnī, Venetic Rutius (patronymic) and Old Irish ruithen (“a gleam, shining”).[2]
