rouncen.2

Brit. /raʊns/, U.S. /raʊns/
Origin: Probably either (i) a borrowing from French. Or (ii) a borrowing from German. Etymons: French rams; German Ramsch, Rams, Rans.
Etymology: Probably < French rams, denoting a card game for three to five players in which the object is to take five tricks as quickly as possible (1842) or its apparent etymon German Ramsch, (chiefly regional: Switzerland) †Rams, (regional: Carinthia) †Rans Ramsch n., although this is apparently first attested later in the relevant sense (1837 or earlier in a Swiss (Appenzell) source denoting a card game with unspecified rules, 1859 or earlier (implied in the verb †ransen ) denoting a card game played in the Lesach valley in Carinthia, a southern province of Austria, in which the object is to win five tricks as quickly as possible); for the later (and now main) sense of the German word, denoting a trick-avoiding game, as well as for the ulterior etymology see Ramsch n. Compare Swedish rams, denoting a kind of card game (1834; apparently < German Rams, although this is first attested slightly later).
Chiefly U.S.
