Forms: 1600s– rusé, 1800s– rusée (designating a woman, after French feminine form).

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French rusé, ruser.

Etymology: < French rusé given to ruses, cunning, deceitful (first half of the 14th cent. in Middle French), uses as adjective of rusé , past participle of ruser to deceive (a person) (14th cent. in Middle French), to use ruses, to be crafty (c1375), probably < ruse ruse n. (and thus ultimately related to ruse v.¹). O.E.D. Suppl. (1982) gives only the non-naturalized pronunciation (rüze) /ryze/.
