Etymology

Probably ris- +‎ -u, from risahtaa, thus onomatopoeic of the snapping sound made by dry twigs. Germanic origin has been proposed (compare Icelandic hrís (“brushwood”) and Swedish ris (“twigs in a heap”)), but considered unlikely for phonetic reasons.[1][2]

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /ˈrisu/, [ˈris̠u]
  • Rhymes: -isu
  • Syllabification(key): ri‧su
