Etymology of RUCKUSES

The word "ruckus" is believed to have originated in the United States in the early 20th century. It is derived from the earlier term "ruction", which dates back to the mid-19th century. The exact etymology of "ruction" is uncertain, but it may be a variation of the word "ruckus" itself.

Both "ruckus" and "ruction" are believed to have developed from the word "ruck", a term used in rugby and American football to describe a chaotic struggle or pile-up of players.
