Lol. I think it's closer to the root for like defense or support or pushing something up. Here's Online Etymology Dictionary. "c. 1300, rebouten, "to thrust back," from Old French reboter, rebuter "to thrust back," from re- "back" (see re-) + boter "to strike, push," from a Germanic source"

Rebut is the verb. rebuttal is the noun of that.

I don't know if you want a real answer, but I believe the "Re-" amends "but", and -al modifies "rebut," which we do have.
