rammeln.1 Origin: Probably a borrowing from French. Etymons: French ramail; French ramelle. Etymology: Probably partly < Anglo-Norman ramail, ramaile, ramayle, ramale, Anglo-Norman and Old French ramayl, Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French ramaille (French regional ramaille ) branches, loppings (c1225 or earlier in Anglo-Norman) < rame branch (see rame n.1) + -aille -al suffix1, and partly < Old French, Middle French ramelle branches (end of the 12th cent.) < rame branch (see rame n.1) + -elle -elle suffix. Compare post-classical Latin ramaillum branches (1285 in a British source).With sense 2 compare later rumble n.2 and the Germanic words in sense ‘rubbish, trash, junk’ cited at rumble n.1, which probably represent an extended use of the original sense ‘noise, din, uproar’. Now Scottish and English regional (chiefly northern and midlands). 1. the world > food and drink > farming > forestry or arboriculture > [noun] > pruning or lopping > prunings or loppings the world > physical sensation > cleanness and dirtiness > refuse or rubbish > [noun] > waste wood for burning c1250 in C.
