† rakesn.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: rake n.⁸

Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps < the plural of rake n.⁸ (although this is first attested considerably later; with use in plural compare rake n.⁸ 1) in unattested sense ‘excrement that has been scraped by hand from a constipated horse’ (compare rake v.² 8). It is noteworthy that the scene in Gammer Gurtons Nedle immediately following that from which quot. 1575 is drawn includes a humorous discussion on the subject of the raking a cat in this very sense:1575 W. Stevenson Gammer Gurtons Nedle iii. iv. sig. C.iv^v Hodge. Holde vp har tayle and take her, Chil see what deuil is in her guts, chil take y^u paines to rake her. Gamer. Rake a Cat Hodge, what woldst thou do?

Obsolete. rare.

A term of abuse for: a person considered worthless or contemptible.
