rancen.2

Brit. /rɑːns/, /rans/, U.S. /ræns/, Scottish English /rans/
Forms:

α. Scottish pre-1700 ryns, 1800s– rince (north-eastern).

β. 1800s– rance; Scottish pre-1700 raynge, pre-1700 1700s– rance, 1700s rans, 1700s–1800s ranse, 1900s– runce.

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from French. Etymons: French rance, ranche, renche.
Etymology: Apparently < Middle French (Normandy) rance (1557; French rance piece of wood used to prop up a decrepit old building (1820)), regional variant of ranche, both in sense ‘prop supporting the side rails of a cart’ (1411; 1363 as renche, 1388 as rainche ; French (chiefly regional) ranche , denoting various pieces of wood supporting the side rails of a cart, also (rarely) the side rails themselves) < the Germanic base of rung n., with alteration probably after Middle Dutch ranke (Dutch rank ) or its cognate Middle High German or early modern German ranke (German Ranke ), both in sense ‘vine, climbing plant’, both of uncertain origin. Compare rancing n.The following quot. may perhaps show either an earlier instance (in a Latin context) of the English word or an (otherwise unattested) Anglo-Norman parallel:1404 in J. T. Fowler Extracts Acct. Rolls Abbey of Durham (1899) II. 396 1 raus [perh. read rans] pro cariacione meremii. The α. forms are difficult to explain; perhaps compare Older Scots raising of short e to i before n plus consonant (see further A. J. Aitken & C. Macafee Older Scots Vowels (2002) §14.15), but an input form with e rather than a is hard to account for.
Originally and chiefly Scottish.
Originally (in quot. 1574): a bar or bolt for a door. In later use: a bar or post for supporting a building or other structure; a stay or prop; spec. a wall or pillar of coal supporting the roof of a coal mine. Cf. rancing n.In early use frequently attributive.
