arracher Explanation: ROGUE verb transitive [1764]: To free (a crop) from inferior, diseased, or otherwise unwanted plants or seedlings. Also: to take out (inferior or diseased individuals) from a crop. [from the noun: A plant or seedling in a crop that is considered inferior, or exhibits variation from the parental or standard type]. [[However, the origin of the noun is unknown.]] Both chronology and the difference in meaning argue against a suggested connection with Middle French, French rogue haughty, arrogant (1567) http://www.wordwizard.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=22706 |
