Randoune, in, [2542].
The corresponding line ([l. 739]) suggests that in Randoune = al about, i.e. in a circuit. But if we translate it by “in haste,” or “in great force,” we keep nearer to the true etymology. In Ogilvie’s Imperial Dictionary, s.v. Random, we find the Nor. Fr. randonnée explained to mean the “sweeping circuit made by a wounded and frightened animal;” but the true meaning of randonnée is certainly force, impetuosity; see R., Cotgrave, etc. In Danish, rand is a surrounding edge or margin; while in Dutch we find rondom round about.
Raquer, require, [2409].
