Origins
Disputed. Schrijver connects the term with Tocharian A rapurñe (“desire”) and perhaps Ancient Greek ἔραμαι (éramai, “to love”), though De Vaan considers this proposal semantically uncompelling. Alternatively, the LIV derives the term from Proto-Indo-European *r̥bʰ-yé-ti, from *rebʰ-, perhaps whence also Old English rabbian (“to rage”) According to De Vaan, the Latin term would presumably derive from Proto-Italic *rab-, itself derived from a secondary full-grade that emerged from the zero-grade of the PIE root. However, De Vaan still considers this etymology uncertain.
