Rase in United States
Rase Definition
(Law Lat. raseria; from Lat. rasus, shaved or scraped). In old English law. Strike; struck measure; that in which the commodity measured was made even with the top of the measure, by scraping or striking off all that was above it. An old ordinance for bakers, brewers, etc., provided that toll should be taken “by the rase, and not by the heap or cantel.” Cowell quotes the provision, but strangely overlooks the meaning it so clearly expresses, and makes rase (raseria) to be “a measure of corn, now disused.”
