rash

rash
{{11}}rash (adj.) c.1300, "nimble, quick, vigorous," a Scottish and northern word, perhaps from O.E. -ræsc (Cf. ligræsc "flash of lightning"), from P.Gmc. *raskuz (Cf. M.L.G. rasch, M.Du. rasc "quick, swift," Ger. rasch "quick, fast"). Related to O.E. horsc "quick-witted." Sense of "reckless, impetuous, heedless of consequences" is attested from c.1500.
{{12}}rash (n.) "red spots on skin," 1709, perhaps from Fr. rache "a sore," from O.Fr. rache "ringworm," from V.L. *rasicare "to scrape" (Cf. O.Prov. rascar, Sp. rascar "to scrape, scratch," It. raschina "itch"), from L. rasus "scraped," pp. of radere "to scrape" (see RAZE (Cf. raze)). The connecting notion is of itching. Sense of "any sudden outbreak or proliferation" first recorded 1820.
