Borrowed in the 16th century from French déroute (“rout”), from Old French desroter (“to disband, to disperse”), from rote, route (“band, company, troop, group of armed men”), originally a substantivized feminine of rout (literally “broken”)[1], from Latin ruptus, perfect passive participle of rumpō (“to break”). Merged with existing Spanish rota (“rout, military defeat”), from the same Latin verb.
