rabbetn.Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French rabate, rabat. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman rabate (as adjective in peres rabates and rabat ston grooved stone) and Middle French rabat (also in corresponding senses as rebat ) recess, groove, (also) something containing a recess or groove, especially with reference to a part of a building (a1277 in Old French as rebat ; c1310 as rabat ; in French now usually only in phrase rabat de cheminée ), action of parrying a blow (c1500 or earlier as rabat ; perhaps earlier in a passage of uncertain meaning (c1365)), spec. uses of rabat rebate n.1 Compare later rebate n.1 and rebate n.2The spec. use in sense 4 is not listed in dictionaries of French. For an example of the use of French rabat with reference to something that causes a rebound compare the spec. use ‘roof in a game of real tennis (from which the balls rebound)’ (1564 in Middle French in this sense). In some cases it is difficult to distinguish this word from rabat n.1; compare especially quots. 1552 for rabbet iron n., 1597 for rabbet plane n. at Compounds 1. I.
