Etymology 3
Clipping of reservi (“reserve”), by association with ressu (etymology 1).
Noun
ressu
- In the arcade game pajatso, either of the slots in each end of the row of slots marked with R; unlike other slots which give a fixed number of coins in return of a hit, these slots only give a return when its respective "reserve" is full. The front (closer to the point where coins are fed in) and rear reserve slots are called eturessu and takaressu.
