Etymology of ARRAUGHT

The word "arraught" is derived from the Middle English term "aroughten", which means "to seize, take hold of, or snatch". It originates from the combination of the Old English word "aræppan" (to seize or take hold of) and the Old Norse word "hræp" (to snatch or touch hastily). Over time, the pronunciation and spelling of the word evolved into "arraught". It is worth noting that "arraught" is now considered archaic and is rarely used in modern English.
