riscus
Latin[edit]
Etymology[edit]
A borrowing, probably ultimately from Proto-Celtic *rūskos, cognate with 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[1].
