crebro quaerere, Fest. p. 264 Müll.: scrutari, Non. 166, 19 (anteclass.): ut latebras ruspans rimarem, Poët. ap. Fest. p. 265 Müll. (Trag. Rel. p. 209 Rib.); cf.: vagent ruspantes silvas, Att. ap. Non. 166, 20: jube nunc animo ruspari Phrygas, id. ib. 19.Origins
Uncertain; proposed derivations include: * From a root common to Ancient Greek ἐρευνάω (ereunáō, “to seek, to search for”) and Proto-Germanic *rūnō (“secret; rune”). * From Proto-Indo-European *Hrew- (“to tear out, dig out”). Cognates include Latin ruō (“to dig out”) and Russian рыть (rytʹ, “to dig”).
