Etymology
1. Origin uncertain, but the suffixes -ix and -ex are found in other plant names such as larix and carex. Probably a substrate word; compare Ancient Greek ῥῡτή (rhūtḗ, “rue”).
2. More information
3. One doubtful etymology supposes derivation from Proto-Indo-European *sū-ro- (“sour, salty, bitter”) via metathesis *sūr- > *srū-, an innovation supposedly shared by Ancient Greek ῥῡτή (rhūtḗ), but this is even less likely with the modern laryngealist reconstruction *suH-ro-.
