50348 rape [[English]] ipa :/ɹeɪp/[Anagrams] edit - Earp, Pera, aper, pare, pear, prae-, præ-, reap [Etymology 1] editFrom Middle English rapen, rappen (“to abduct; ravish; seduce; rape; seize; snatch; carry off; transport”), probably from Latin rapere (verb), possibly through or influenced by Anglo-Norman rap, rape (noun) (compare also ravish). But compare Swedish rappa (“to snatch, seize, carry off”), Low German rapen (“to snatch, seize”), Dutch rapen (“to pick up, gather, collect”); the relationship with Germanic forms is not clear. Cognate with Lithuanian reikėti (“to be in need”). Compare also rap (“seize, snatch”).[1] [Etymology 2] editGenerally considered to derive from Old English rāp (“rope”), in reference to the ropes used to delineate the courts that ruled each rape.[4] Compare Dutch reep and the parish of Rope, Cheshire.In the 18th century, Edward Lye proposed derivation from Old Norse hreppr (“tract of land”), but this was rejected by the New English Dictionary and is considered "phonologically impossible" by the English Place-Name Society.[4] Others, considering it improbable that the Normans would have adopted a local word, suggest derivation from Old French raper (“take by force”).[5]See Wikipedia for more. [Etymology 3] editFrom Middle English rapen, from Old Norse hrapa (“to fall, rush headlong, hurry, hasten”), from Proto-Germanic *hrapaną (“to fall down”). Cognate with Norwegian rapa (“to slip, fall”), Danish rappe (“to make haste”), German rappeln (“to hasten, hurry”). [Etymology 4] editFrom Latin rapa, from rāpum (“turnip”). [Etymology 5] editFrom Middle English rape, from rape (“grape stalk, rasper”), from Old French raper, rasper (“to rasp, scratch”), from Old Frankish *raspōn (“to scratch”), related to Old High German raspōn (“to scrape”), Old English ġehrespan (“to strip, spoil”).

Wow, your audio setup is beef! [Anagrams] edit - Feeb, feeb [Etymology] editFrom Middle English beef, bef, beof, borrowed from Anglo-Norman beof, Old French buef, boef (“ox”) (modern French bœuf); from Latin bōs (“ox”), from Proto-Italic *gʷōs, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʷṓws. Doublet of cow.Beef in the sense of “a grudge, argument” was originally an American slang expression:[1] - attested as a verb “to complain” in 1888: “He'll beef an' kick like a steer an' let on he won't never wear 'em.”— New York World, 13 May; - attested as a noun “complaint, protest, grievance, sim.” in 1899: “He made a Horrible Beef because he couldn't get Loaf Sugar for his Coffee.”—Fables in Slang (1900) by George Ade, page 80.As to the possible origin of this American usage, it has been suggested that it can be traced back to a British expression for “alarm”, first recorded in 1725:[2] "BEEF 'to alarm, as To cry beef upon us; they have discover'd us, and are in Pursuit of us". The term "beef" in this context would be a Cockney rhyming slang of thief. The continuous use of a similar expression, including its assumed semantic shift to 'complaint' in the United States from the 1880s onwards, needs further clarification though.[3] [Noun] editbeef (countable and uncountable, plural beef or beefs or beeves)A chunk of beef (sense 1) 1. 2.
