In summary

Borrowed from German Rakete, from Italian rocchetta, from rochetto (“rocket”, literally “a bobbin”), diminutive of rocca (“a distaff”), of Germanic origin, perhaps Gothic rukka, from Proto-Germanic *rukkô (“a distaff, a staff with flax fibres tied loosely to it, used in spinning thread”). Cognate with Old High German rocco, rocko, roccho, rocho ("a distaff"; > German Rocken (“a distaff”)), Swedish rock (“a distaff”), Icelandic rokkur (“a distaff”), Middle English rocke (“a distaff”).
