Forms:

α. (In singular form) late Middle English–1500s rame.

β. (In plural form) 1500s– rames, 1900s– raimes (English regional (Devon)).

Origin: Perhaps a word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Perhaps cognate with Middle Dutch raem, rame frame, framework (Dutch raam, also with reference to the human body (1638 in sense ‘corpse’)), Old Saxon hrama frame, framework (Middle Low German rāme), Old High German rama post, support, framework (Middle High German ram, rame, German Rahmen frame, framework), of uncertain origin.Perhaps attested earlier in place names (in basic sense ‘post, barrier, obstacle’), as Hrambroc (now lost; second half of the 11th cent. in a late copy of a grant of land at Hawling, Gloucestershire, made in 816), Rame (1086; now Rame, Cornwall), Ramhill (1324; now Rame Hill, Cornwall), although the identification is far from certain.
In later use chiefly English regional (south-western)
With singular and plural agreement. Formerly: the bones of a human or animal, a skeleton; (also) a very thin or undernourished person or animal. In later use chiefly: the skeleton or framework (of a thing); dried stalks.
