rabiten.

Forms: Middle English rabete, Middle English rabett, Middle English rabit, Middle English rabyght, Middle English rabyt, Middle English–1500s rabet, Middle English–1500s rabyte.
Origin: Apparently a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: English Arabit.
Etymology: Apparently aphetic < Arabit (adjective) Arabic (a1325, rare: see note) < Anglo-Norman and Old French arabit , arrabit , arabi , Old French arrabi (adjective) Arabic (c1170 as arabiz , plural), (noun) Arab person (c1100), Arab horse (c1176), probably < Arabic ʿarabī Arabic adj.1, with alteration of the suffix after Old French -ite -ite suffix1; or perhaps < post-classical Latin Arabitae (plural) the Arabs (11th cent.) or its etymon Hellenistic Greek Ἀραβῖται , plural (compare classical Latin Arabiton (rare), apparently genitive plural < Hellenistic Greek Ἀραβιτῶν , genitive plural) < Ἀραβ- ,Ἄραψ Arab n.1 + -ῖται , plural of -ίτης -ite suffix1. Compare post-classical Latin rabitus or rabita kind of horse (12th or 13th cent.); also Middle High German rāvīt warhorse, Old Icelandic rábítr Arab horse, racehorse. Französisches etymol. Wörterbuch XIX. at ʿarab suggests influence on the French word from the unrelated Arabic ar-rābiṭ, assimilated form of al-rābiṭ < al the + rābiṭ military post (of a kind frequently encountered by crusaders), but this seems less likely on semantic grounds. Compare the following slightly earlier attestation of Middle English Arabit, with reference to people:a1325 (c1250) Gen. & Exod. (1968) l. 1203 Arabit folc of ysmael.
Obsolete.
