Origin

Middle English: ultimately based on Latin ruptus 'broken', from the verb rumpere; sense 1 and the verb (late 16th century) are from obsolete French route, probably from Italian rotta 'break-up of an army'; the other senses are via Anglo-Norman French rute.

rut from Late Middle English:
In the days of horse-drawn vehicles a cartwheel travelling many times along the same track would carve out a deep groove or rut. The deeper the rut became, the more difficult it would be to follow any other route. Someone following a fixed, and probably rather tedious, pattern of behaviour is in a rut. Rut in this sense is probably from Old French rute, also the source of route (Middle English) which both go back to Latin rupta (via) ‘broken (way)’. Route is also the origin of routine (late 17th century) for something that is like travelling the same road again. Rupta is the source of rout (Middle English) for a decisive defeat, from the idea of a broken army. The rut of male deer is a different word. In the breeding season stags challenge one another by roaring calls, when they are in rut: here rut probably comes from Latin rugire ‘to roar’ (see also rail).
