Compare post-classical Latin Russus (10th cent.; 12th cent. in a British source), Old Swedish Ryz , Ryze , Rytz (13th cent.; Swedish Ryss ), Old Danish Ryzæ , Ryscæn , Rytzen (Danish Russer , †Rus , †Russe , †Rys , †Rysse , †Rysser , etc.), Old Norwegian (plural) Ruzar , Ryzar , Ryzir , Middle Dutch Ruse , Ruese , Rusche (Dutch Rus ), French Russe (1671 or earlier). Compare later Russian n., Russian adj., Russie adj., Russie n.Old Russian Rus′ is usually taken to be < a stem ultimately of early Scandinavian origin + Old Russian -′ , suffix forming collective nouns (originally a reduced front vowel, subsequently replaced by the palatalized quality of the preceding consonant; compare čud′ Finns, perm′ Permians, lib′ Livonians, prus′ Prussians, serb′ Serbs): compare Old Swedish roþer rowing, roþrin , roþin ‘administrative subdivision in coastal Eastern Sweden’, and the first element in Old Swedish rodskarl (Swedish roskarl ) inhabitant of Roslagen, all < the same Germanic base as row v.1; perhaps via a Finnic language, compare Finnish Ruotsi Sweden, Ruotsalainen Swede. Compare Arabic †Rūs , (collective noun, 9th cent.), Byzantine Greek οἱ Ῥῶς (plural, 9th cent.), post-classical Latin Rhos (11th cent., in an annal for the year 839), all with reference to the ethnic or social group from either Eastern Europe or Scandinavia.
