Possibly from Proto-Germanic *ragō (“lichen, beard”) and related to Proto-Germanic *rūhaz (whence rough) and Proto-Germanic *rawwō (whence rag), therefore from Proto-Indo-European *Hrewk- (“to pluck”). However compare Russian ракита (rakita, “broom, willow tree”), which could be from Proto-Indo-European *h₂erkʷ- (“bend”).[1][2]
