Etymology[edit]

Origin uncertain.

• The word first appears in the phrases chanson du/de riochet, fable du ricochet. This is apparently related to other story-titles such as the fable du rouge kokelet; other dialectal terms such as ripoton(“duckling”) and Norman recoquet(“chick”) has led to theories that the word originally indicated a 'young cock'. The sense-development is unclear.
