Etymology
From de gmh roch, from de ar رُخّ, from de pal lhw'. The /x/ must be compared to the word de Schach. In both of these cases it is either due to direct borrowing from Arabic (during the Crusades) or alternatively to borrowing via de dum roc, from de fro roc, with artificial application of the High German consonant shift.
