    Etymology

    edit

    From Proto-Italic *rougā, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁roug-h₂- (wrinkle), related to *h₁rewg- (to roar, belch), where the sense development would be "to belch" → "to undulate"[1] → "to be rugged" → "crease, wrinkle".[2] Compare ructō (to belch, bring up noisily). For the development to street, compare also rupta via (literally path made by force).

      The connection between 'to belch' and 'caterpillar' may be the way in which a caterpillar moves forward, viz. by slowly pushing itself foward (sic), first with its hind legs, thus raising the central part of its body to a curve, which is lowered again when the front legs move forward. This movement may easily call into mind the lowering and raising of the Adam's apple when people belch, or retching movements of the throat when vomiting.
