Etymology
Comes from Late Middle English rasen, rasyn, meaning “to rage; to enrage (?)”, probably from Middle Dutch râsen, râzen, meaning “to be extremely angry, rage; to be mad, rave; to talk nonsense; of a dog: to be rabid”; this developed from Old Dutch *rāson (modern Dutch razen), from Proto-West Germanic *rāsōn (“to rush”), from Proto-Germanic *rēsōną (“to rush”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁reh₁s-, meaning “to flow; to rush”. Compare Swedish rasa (“rage”).
