German
Etymology
16th century, from de rüsten ung. Old High German had goh hrust armour, but this was ousted in Middle High German by different lexemes such as gmh panzier, gmh harnasch. Old High German goh hrustunga is morphologically identical but had a general meaning of “installation, trappings” and remained without continuation.
