Etymology

Probably ris- +‎ -u, from risahtaa, thus onomatopoeic of the snapping sound made by dry twigs. Germanic origin has been proposed (compare Icelandic hrís (“brushwood”) and Swedish ris (“twigs in a heap”)), but considered unlikely for phonetic reasons.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈrisu/, [ˈris̠u]
• Rhymes: -isu
• Syllabification^(key): ri‧su

Noun

risu

1. stick, dry twig
2. brickbat (criticism or uncomplimentary remark)

   Aikakauslehdissä on usein "ruusuja ja risuja" -niminen osasto kehuja ja kritiikkiä varten.

   It's quite common for magazines to have a section called Bouquets and Brickbats for compliments and criticisms.
