To scratch an itch. If this sense really exists, it should be in a separate etymology section as it is a portmanteau. Still, does it exist? - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 03:07, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
- cited. But I don't think it is actually a portmanteau, just another onomatopoeia. My sense of the word is that it is not as broad as scratch - you can scratch an itch by rubbing against a rough surface, for example, but scritching is always done with the fingers.

- Excellent cites, and from reading them, yes, I agree probably not a portmanteau. I rejigged the def a bit so as to avoid that seeming the case (and also to make it match the uses in the cites better). - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 08:53, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
