Rabbet
- Ryot |

RABBET,
to cut the edges of boards so that they overlap and can be
joined together. (F.,—L. and G.) M.E. rabet;
see Prompt Parv. 'Many deep rabbotted incisions;'
Holland, tr. of Plutarch, p. 902 (R.) The Halifax
gibbet, in Harrison's Descr. of England, b. ii. c. I l, ed.
Furnivall, p. 227, is described as having a block of wood
'which dooth ride vp and downe in a slot, rabet, or
regall betweene two peeces of timber.'—F.
raboter, 'to plane, levell, or laye even;' Cot. He also
gives: 'rabot, a joyner's plane, a plaisterer's
beater.' The F. adj. raboteux means "rugged,
knotty, rough.' Littré refers these words to O.F. rabouter, to
thrust back, compounded of Lat. re, F. a (= Lat.
ad ), and
boter (later bouter ), to thrust. This O.F. verb is, in fact,
equivalent to E. re-abut. β. The notion of
abutting or
projecting gives the sense of rugged to the adj. raboteux;
whilst the notion of removing the roughness is in the verb.
See Re- and Abut.
γ. At the same time, it is certain
that F. rabot, as shewn by Cotgrave's 2nd definition, was
confused with F. rabat, a beater, connected with rabatre (mod.
F. rabattre), lit. to re-abate; for which see Re- and
Abate. Even in E., the word
rabbet is sometimes spelt rebate.
