rampikeadj.

Brit.

/ˈrampʌɪk/, U.S.

/ˈræmˌpaɪk/

Forms:

α. 1500s 1800s ranpike.

β. 1500s rampicke, 1600s ranpick, 1800s– raunpick (English regional (Leicestershire)).

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymon: two elements of uncertain origin.

Etymology: < a first element of uncertain origin (perhaps raven n.¹: see note) + a second element of uncertain origin (perhaps pike n.¹, with reference to the pointed shape of the tree or bough). Compare later rampike n. (which may perhaps show the original word, in spite of its much later date of first attestation).The first element of the compound may be raven n.¹ Although the connection with the latter word suggested in quot. 1881 may be merely folk-etymological, it is plausible both formally (compare the γ. forms at raven n.¹ and adj.) and semantically. The first element is unlikely to be either ram n.¹ or the Scots intensifying prefix ram- (see ramfeezled adj.). With the β. forms compare pick n.¹, and see discussion at that entry.

Now regional.

Of a tree or bough: partially decayed or dead; bare of leaves or twigs.
