IT'S THE ALIENS





RAPTURE


Borrowed from Middle French rapture, from Latin raptūra, future active participle of rapiō (“snatch, carry off”)

snatch, grab, carry off, abduct, rape

From Proto-Italic *rapiō[1], perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rp-i-, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rep- (“to snatch”)


Extreme pleasure, happiness or excitement.

In some forms of fundamentalist Protestant eschatology, the event when Jesus returns and gathers the souls of living and deceased believers. (Usually "the rapture".)

(obsolete) The act of kidnapping or abducting, especially the forceful carrying off of a woman.

(obsolete) Rape; ravishment; sexual violation.

(obsolete) The act of carrying, conveying, transporting or sweeping along by force of movement; the force of such movement; the fact of being carried along by such movement.


RAPE

From Middle English rapen, rappen (“to abduct; ravish; seduce; rape; seize; snatch; carry off; transport”),

probably from Latin rapere (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. Cognate with Lithuanian reikėti (“to be in need”). Compare also rap (“seize, snatch”).
Noun

rape (countable and uncountable, plural rapes)

(now rare) The taking of something by force; seizure, plunder. [from early 14th c.]

(now archaic) The abduction of a woman, especially for sexual purposes. [from 15th c.]
