Old Spanish[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Inherited from Latin rapio, rapire. Displaced in Modern Spanish by a direct borrowing of rapio rather than this direct inherited form.

Verb[edit]

rabir

  1. to kidnap; to abduct

Usage notes[edit]

  • While rabir is the direct, inherited form of rapio, this form was abandoned in favor of raptar which is a borrowing of rapio.
