Uncertain. Probably from Proto-Indo-European *wreh₁ǵ-; compare Old Armenian երգիծանեմ (ergicanem, “I tear, dissect”), Lithuanian rėžti, and Old Church Slavonic рѣзати (rězati, “to cut, slaughter”).[1] Also compare Latin frangō and Old English brecan (English break), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreg-. Further compare Sanskrit रुजति (rujati, “break up, break open, shatter”) and Albanian rrege.
