Etymology

Inherited from Middle High German: rüebe

Cognate with Middle Dutch: roeve

Cognate with Middle Low German: rö̂ve

Cognate with Icelandic: rófa

Cognate with Danish: roe

Cognate with Swedish: rove

Cognate with Latin: rāpum

Cognate with Old High German: rāba

In summary

From Middle High German rüebe, ruobe, from Old High German ruoba, from Proto-West Germanic *rōbijā.
Cognate with Middle Dutch roeve, Middle Low German rö̂ve (modern Rööv). Forms with back vowel in Upper German dialects are due to umlaut hindrance before labials, but Icelandic rófa, Danish roe, Swedish rova require a byform Proto-Germanic *rōbǭ. See also Latin rāpa, rāpum, Proto-Slavic *rěpa, etc., all meaning “beet, turnip”. An ablaut variant Proto-Germanic *rēbǭ underlies in Old High German rāba (if it is not from Latin).
