Rasen

== German == === Etymology === From north-eastern Middle High German rase, probably from Middle Low German wrāse (“sod, turf”), though the two could also be cognate forms. Further origin presumably a variant of Middle Low German wāse, from Old Saxon waso, from Proto-West Germanic *wasō (“moisture, slime, muck”) which has been inherited as German Wasen. The intermitting r might be due to influence from dialectal forms of Brodem (“haze, fume”), notably Bratten, Wraten, Frādem, Frātem, Frāsem. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈraːzən/, [ˈʁäːzən], [ˈʁäːzn̩] === Noun === Rasen m (strong, genitive Rasens, plural Rasen) lawn Synonym: (chiefly when large, or informal) Wiese turf ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === References === === Further reading === “Rasen”, in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache‎[1] (in German) “Rasen” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon “Rasen” in Duden online
