Etymology

Probably from Medieval Latin rocca, of uncertain ultimate origin; possibly Celtic. Related to Middle Low German rocke (“rock ledge”).

From Proto-Germanic *rukkaz (“garment; apron”).

Derived from Proto-Germanic *rukjaną (“to ruminate”), from Proto-Indo-European *rewg- (“to vomit; belch; burp”).
