Origin

Middle English: from Old French rubi, from medieval Latin rubinus, from the base of Latin rubeus 'red'.

This is the English form of rubinus, the Latin name of the precious stone. This comes from rubeus ‘red’. This is also the source of rubric (Late Middle English) which goes back to Latin rubrica (terra) ‘red (earth or ochre as writing material)’, from the fact that rubrics were originally written in red ink.
