Morphology

ruttish = rut (semi-transparent) = rut + ish

Formed by the regular addition of '-ish' to 'rut', but the base sense 'rut' (animal mating period) is specialized and not widely known to learners, which may block transparent inference.

Etymology

Ruttish comes from the simple word rut, which names the 'mating season' when animals like deer become very driven and restless. So, ruttish describes someone showing strong sexual desire.
