rappeen.¹

Brit.

/raˈpiː/, U.S.

/ræˈpi/

Forms: 1700s– rapee, 1700s– rappee.

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from French. Perhaps also partly a borrowing from Dutch. Etymons: French râpé; Dutch rapé.

Etymology: Apparently < French râpé (although this is apparently rare and first attested later: 1759), use as noun of the past participle of râper rasp v.¹, perhaps partly via Dutch rapé (although this is also first attested later: 1755; apparently < French).

Now chiefly historical.

A coarse snuff made from dark strong-smelling tobacco leaves, and originally obtained by rasping a piece of tobacco.
