Etymology 1
From rusch:, risch:, from  rysc:, risc:, from  (compare  risk:,  rus: ‘bulrush’,  dialect ryskje: ‘hair-grass’), from - ‘to plait, wattle’ (compare Irish rusg: ‘bark’, Latin restis: ‘rope’, Latvian rezgis: ‘basketwork’, Serbo-Croatian rògoz: ‘reed’, Ancient Greek undefined: ‘basket’, Persian undefined: ‘woollen cloth’).

Etymology 2
From ruschen:, russchen:, from  hryscan:, hryscan:, from, from. Cognate with hurscan:,  horsc:. More at.

Alternative etymology traces rush via rouschen: "to rush" from  *undefined: "to rush" from, a variant (with formative k) of  from , making it akin to  rosci: "snell, quick",  ruschen: "to rush",  ruschen: "to rush" ( rauschen "to rush"),  ruse: "to rush",  ruuscen: "to make haste",  rusen: "to rush" ( ruisen: "to rush"),  ruse: "to rush",  rusa: "to rush". Compare rusch: "a charge, rush". Influenced by russhen: "to force back" from  russer: from  ruser:.

According to the OED, English rush is an adaptation of russher, russer "to force back, down, out of place, by violent impact", also "to pull out or drag off violently or hastily",  from Old French re(h)usser, ruser (although the connection of the forms with single -s- and double -ss- is dubious; also adopted in English ruse; French ruser "to retreat, drive back"), from an assumed  *refusare and Latin refundere "to cause to flow back", although connection to the same  root is also possible.
