raspeln
Appearance
German
[edit]Etymology
[edit]16th century, iterative of now obsolete raspen, from Middle High German raspen (“to grab, rake”), from Old High German (h)raspōn (“to rake, gather”), from Proto-West Germanic *hraspōn, from Proto-Germanic *hraspōną. This verb was, however, infrequent in Middle High German and did not have the specific sense of “rasp, grate”. Its later use seems to have been influenced by Middle French rasper (“to grate”), which goes back via Old French to the same Germanic verb. From the French are also Dutch raspen, English rasp.
