rush

rush: English has two words rush. The plantname [OE] goes back to a prehistoric Germanic *rusk-, which also produced German and Dutch rusch, and may be related to Latin restis ‘rush’. Rush ‘hurry’ [14] goes back ultimately to Old French ruser ‘drive back, detour’, source of English ruse. It reached English via Anglo- Norman russher, where until the 17th century it was used in its original sense ‘drive back, repulse’. The sense ‘hurry’ developed in Anglo- Norman, presumably from some association of the sound of the word with ‘hurrying’.
=> ruse

rush (n.1)

"plant growing in marshy ground," Old English resc, earlier risc, from Proto-Germanic *rusk- (cognates: Middle Low German rusch, Middle High German rusch, German Rausch, West Frisian risk, Dutch rusch), from PIE *rezg- "to plait, weave, wind" (cognates: Latin restis "cord, rope").
