Portuguese edit

Alternative forms edit

Etymology edit

Probably borrowed from Spanish rábano,[1] from Latin raphanus, from Ancient Greek ῥάφανος (rháphanos). A native variant rábão also exists, reflecting the expected loss of intervocalic Latin /n/ and showing /b/ for an original Latin /p/, a sound frequently used in borrowings to render the Ancient Greek /pʰ/.[2] According to da Cunha, rábano and rábão are first attested in 1813, and a variant rabom was first attested in the 15th century.[3] Compare Galician ravo, Catalan rave, and Italian rafano.
