Etymology

Borrowed from Ancient Greek: ῥῠκάνη

Cognate with Latin: runcīna

In summary

From Old French roisner + -ure, from Vulgar Latin *rucina, borrowed from Gaulish *rucina, in turn borrowed from Ancient Greek ῥῠκάνη (rhŭkánē, “plane, a carpenter's tool”). According to Beekes, the word is likely of Pre-Greek origin, and probably the source for Latin runcīna.
