Etymology
In summary
From an onomatopoeic Middle High German rutzen, rützen (whence also the obsolete form rütschen), with change of -tz- to -tsch- as also in fletschen. Perhaps related to Old High German rūtezzen. English rutch and rutsch derive from this term or its cognates in related languages.
