Origin

Early 16th century: from French raquette (see rackets).

In Middle English this is a game a bit like modern squash or real tennis (see pillar), only appearing as the bat used to hit the ball around 1500. The word comes from a French and Italian term for ‘palm of the hand’, for the ball was originally hit with the hand. The noisy sort of racket is a separate word, which appeared in the mid 16th century, perhaps in imitation of the noise. The sort of racket practised by a racketeer (early 20th century) seems to have evolved from this.
