释义

rascetten.

Brit. /raˈsɛt/, U.S. /rəˈsɛt/
Forms:

α. Middle English racheta, Middle English–1600s 1800s– rasceta Brit. /raˈsiːtə/, U.S. /rəˈsidə/, Middle English rascheta, 1500s– rascetta.

β. Middle English rachete, Middle English raschet, 1500s raschete, 1800s– rascette.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French rachette; Latin racheta.
Etymology: < Middle French rachette palm of the hand, carpus, sole of the foot, tarsus (1314 in Old French in rachete de la main carpus), Middle French rascette , rassette (in palmistry) the creases at the base of the palm and the wrist (15th cent.; French rascette , rassette ) and its etymon post-classical Latin racheta, rasceta, raseta, rasetta wrist, ankle (11th cent.; 13th cent. in British sources) < rasca (11th cent., in same sense; < Arabic rāḥa palm of the hand) + -eta , -etta (see -et suffix1).It has frequently been suggested that post-classical Latin racheta, rasceta, etc. reflect borrowing of the Arabic word in a genitive construction, in which it would appear as rāḥat, and that the probable model of post-classical Latin rasceta manus wrist (11th cent.) is such an Arabic genitive phrase, rāḥat al-yad ‘palm of the hand’. However, this explanation is unlikely for both phonological and morphological reasons within Arabic. It is more likely that the post-classical Latin forms represent diminutive formations arising within Latin.
