Brit.

/rᵿˈbɑːtəʊ/, U.S.

/ruˈbɑdoʊ/

Origin: A borrowing from Italian. Etymon: Italian rubato.

Etymology: < Italian rubato (1804; frequently from 1828 as a direction in Chopin's piano scores), use as adjective of the past participle of rubare to alter the tempo of the melody temporarily for expressive purposes (1723 in rubare il tempo ; compare rubamente di tempo in the same source), specific sense of rubare to steal (see rob v.), perhaps as a shortening of tempo rubato (1752: see tempo rubato at tempo n.¹ 1a).

Music.

A. adj.

Of a piece of music: played, or directed to be played, with a temporary disregard for strict tempo to allow an expressive quickening or slowing, typically without altering the overall pace. Also: (of tempo) altered in this way; cf. tempo rubato at tempo n.¹ 1a.
