RUBBLE

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 804 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
RUBBLE , broken stone, of irregular size and shape. This word is closely connected in derivation with " rubbish," which was formerly also applied to what we now
call
  " rubble." The earlier Middle
English
  form was robeux or robows. It would appear that the
original
  is an O. Fr. robel. Roba (older form robba) is found in Italian in the sense of refuse, trash. Robba is explained by Florio as a
gown
 , or mantle, robe, wealth, goods, trash. The
original
  sense was " spoil." Thus, " robe," " rob," " rubbish " and " rubble " are all cognate.
" Rubble-
work
  " is a name applied to several species of masonry (q.v.). One
kind
 , where the stones are loosely thrown together in a
wall
  between boards and grouted with mortar almost like concrete, is called in Italian muraglia di getto and in
French
  bocage.
Work
  executed with large stones put together without any attempt at courses is also called rubble.
