Ruction: A disturbance, quarrel, or row

Also, the origin of ruction is uncertain, though it possibly derives from insurrection

Insurrection was also a Star Trek movie with the next generation cast.

Ruction bethinks me of rupture

So I say ruction, and it sounds like something is breaking.

I wonder if ruckus derives from ruction, because if I was going to pick a word that you could define as a disturbance, quarrel, or row, it would probably be a ruckus.

I think yesterday's WotD post was far more interesting than this one.
