Etymology

[edit]

From Middle Dutch reude, possibly from Proto-Germanic *hruþjô (large dog, hound), itself possibly from *hruttōną (to roar), from a Proto-Indo-European root shared by Ancient Greek κόρυζα (kóruza), Old English hrot. Or, from Proto-Germanic *hreutaną, *hrūtaną, *hruttōną (to snore), which would be related to Old Norse hrjóta.

Cognate to German Rüde.
