Where it comes from
Recorded since 1890; probably a blend of ruction (“disturbance”) + rumpus (“disturbance, fracas”) - potentially with influence from raucous (“rowdy, hoarse”), from Latin raucus (“rough, hoarse”).
noun ruckuses
- A raucous disturbance and/or commotion. “Hey, hey, hey, what's the ruckus? I'm trying to conduct important business back there.” “We finished with the tile. And now we're trying to move the pool table back.” “All right, all right, all right. Have you done the urinal? Because the urinal, you flush it, and it sprays all over the place.”
