abbor + ruse, first part from Old Danish aghborre (“perch”) and Old Swedish aghborre, aborre (“perch”), the beginning of the word comes from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eḱ- (“sharp, pointed”) + the end of the word comes from Old Norse borrablað, from Proto-Germanic *burzô. Last part possibly from a Celtic word, from Gaulish rusca, from Proto-Celtic *rūskos (“bark”), possibly from earlier *rukskos, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃rewk- (“to dig, till (soil)”), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *h₃er- (“to move, stir, rise, quarrel”) or *Hrew- (“to tear out, dig out, open, acquire”).
