| 释义 | rape1[ reyp ] / reɪp / SEE SYNONYMS FOR rape ON THESAURUS.COM nounverb (used with object), raped, rap·ing.verb (used without object), raped, rap·ing.to commit rape. Origin of rape1First recorded in 1250–1300; Middle English verb rapen, from Anglo-French raper, from Latin rapere “to seize, carry off by force, plunder”; Middle English noun, from Anglo-French ra(a)p(e), derivative of raper usage note for rape7. There are many violent metaphors to describe a dramatic victory or defeat: The home team slaughtered the competition on Saturday. It was a bloodbath! They absolutely massacred the visiting team. The defense was decimated. Our guys killed it! This type of hyperbole is sometimes tasteless, but it is not generally considered to be offensive. However, rape is a crime with survivors in every stratum of every society. Using rape as a metaphor for some other struggle (as illustrated by the examples at def. 7 ) trivializes the trauma of sexual assault that many have suffered. Such figurative usage is beyond insensitive and should be avoided.
