Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French rancor; Latin rancor.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman rancor, rancour, rancur, rancure, rankur, rankure, rauncur, raunkour and Old French rancor, Old French, Middle French rancour, rancure bitter grudge, animosity, resentment (c1165; Middle French, French rancœur ) and their ultimate etymon post-classical Latin rancor rancidity, rankness (4th or 5th cent.), bitter grudge (4th cent.; < classical Latin rancēre to be rotten or putrid (see rancid adj.) + -or -or suffix). Some Anglo-Norman, Old French, and Middle French forms (from the late 12th cent. onwards) derive < post-classical Latin rancura (from the 11th cent. in continental sources; frequently especially in Spanish and Catalan sources), an alteration of rancor showing suffix substitution (compare -ure suffix¹).Compare Old Occitan rancur (12th cent.; also rancor ), Catalan rancor (early 14th cent.), Spanish rancor , rencor (both late 14th cent.), Portuguese rancor (14th cent.), Italian rancore (a1306), also Middle Dutch rancoor , rancuere (Dutch †rankeur ; < French). Compare also Old Occitan rancura (c1070; also rencura ; Occitan rencura ), Catalan †rancura (late 11th cent.), †rencura , Spanish rencura , †rancura (both second half of the 11th cent.), Portuguese †rancora (13th cent.; 1152 as rancura ), Italian †rancura (a1306). Sense 2 is not paralleled in French.

a. Deep-rooted and bitter ill feeling; resentment or animosity, esp. of long standing; an instance of this.
