Original entry ↗The act of forcing sex upon another person without their consent or against their will; originally coitus forced by a man on a woman, but now generally any sex act forced by any person upon another person, regardless of gender; by extension, any non-consensual sex act forced on or perpetrated by any being. · Overpowerment; utter defeat. · An insult to one's senses so severe that one feels that they cannot ever be the same afterwards. · The taking of something by force; seizure, plunder.
To force sexual intercourse or other sexual activity upon (someone) without their consent. · To seize by force. (Now often with sexual overtones.) · To carry (someone, especially a woman) off against their will, especially for sex; to abduct. · To plunder, to destroy or despoil.
From Middle English rapen, rappen (“to abduct; ravish; seduce; rape; seize; snatch; carry off; transport”), probably from Latin rapiō (verb), possibly through or influenced by Anglo-Norman rap, rape (noun) (compare also ravish). But compare Swedish rappa (“to snatch, seize, carry off”), Low German rapen (“to snatch, seize”), Dutch rapen (“to pick up, gather, collect”); the relationship with Germanic forms is not clear. Compare also rap (“seize, snatch”). Further, some senses may be from Etymology 3, an Old Norse word. Displaced native Old English seorþan whence English sard.
