/rab/

Forms: 1500s 1700s rabb, 1500s 1700s– rab.

Origin: Of unknown origin.

Etymology: Origin unknown. Perhaps compare rubble n. O.E.D. Suppl. (1982) treats this as a shortening of Cornish rabman (1769 (see quot. below); < a first element of uncertain origin (probably < English) + men stone (see menhir n.)), but the English word is first attested considerably earlier and in sources from South Wales. Compare Welsh regional (Pembrokeshire) rab ( < English). For the earliest attestation of the Cornish compound compare:1769 W. Borlase Antiq. Cornwall (ed. 2) 452/1 Rabman, Rubble; that Mixture of Clay and Stone which has not been moved since the Flood, and generally lies over the Karn. There is probably no direct connection with Scots and English regional (Northumberland) raab, rab the fall of a cliff, a mass of broken rock, etc., which is < early Scandinavian (compare Norwegian rap landslide and also Old Icelandic hrapa to tumble down, to fall down: see Sc. National Dict. at Raab n.). It may, however, be an independent borrowing of the same early Scandinavian word.

Chiefly English regional (Cornwall) and Welsh English.

Any of various types of stony or gravelly subsoil; rubble, gravel.
