词源

词源 1
From Middle English ragge, from Old English ragg (suggested by derivative raggiġ (“shaggy; bristly; ragged”)), from Old Norse rǫgg (“tuft; shagginess”), from Proto-Germanic *rawwa-, probably related to *rūhaz. Cognate with Swedish ragg. Related to rug.
词源 2
Unknown origin; perhaps the same word as Etymology 1, above.
词源 3
Uncertain. Ideas about the scolding and tormenting senses being related to on the rag are only speculative.
词源 4
Perhaps from ragged. Compare later ragtime.
