Etymology

The French noun **rush** is a loanword from English, itself coming from Old English *rūsan* “to run, hurry”, which in turn descends from Proto‑Germanic *rūsaną (cognate with Gothic *rūsjan* and Old Norse *rús*). The ultimate source is the Proto‑Indo‑European root *h₁reg‑ “to move, stride”. The term entered French in the early‑20th century to denote a sudden burst of activity or excitement, roughly equivalent to *une précipitation* or *une frénésie*.
