Etymology 1

French rabat

Noun

rabat (countable and uncountable, plural rabats)

2. (countable) A piece of fabric fitted to the collar covering the shirt-front worn by Catholic and Anglican clergy.

Apparently from French rabattre (“to lower”), which often denotes a folding or swinging motion downwards.

Verb

rabat (third-person singular simple present rabats, present participle rabatting, simple past and past participle rabatted)

1. To rotate a plane of projection.
   • 1996, James Elkins, The Poetics of Perspective, →ISBN, page 112:

     For example, we would tend to say that qa is rabatted (rotated) around the axis qd, but notice that conventional rabatment cannot explain the position of plane topl, since it should be rabatted around the line ix in the corporea, and instead it has been rotated around a vertical line passing through d.

   • 2009, John Harvard Biles, The Design and Construction of Ships, →ISBN:

     Generally the true form of the diagonal is drawn on the half-breadth plan, being obtained by rabatting the plane containing the diagonal about the line through m into the horizontal plane.

   • 2015, Edmund George Warland, Modern Practical Masonry, →ISBN, page 169:

     The following rule should be noted: In solving the problem of the oblique plane, convert the oblique plane into an inclined plane, and rabat it about its H.T.
