What does RAPINE mean in Scrabble?
noun
literaryarchaic
The violent seizure of someone else's property, especially during war.
Rapine names the wholesale plundering that follows an army through conquered territory, when soldiers seize goods, livestock, and land by force rather than trade or purchase. Writers usually reach for rapine in accounts of war, invasion, or lawless upheaval, where ordinary words like theft feel too small for the scale of destruction. The word shares its Latin root with rapid and rapture, all built on the idea of seizing something forcefully.
