eş: kidnappen
köken: From Middle High German entvüeren (also enphüeren), from Old High German intfuoren. By surface analysis, ent- + führen, literally “to lead off, to take away”. Formed similarly to Latin abducere, but the Old High German translates other Latin verbs, so a calque must remain speculative. Compare Dutch ontvoeren.
aile: Entführer, Entführung
ein Kind entführen
ein Flugzeug entführen
Ihr Gesang entführte mich in die verlorene Welt meiner Vorfahren.
to abduct (capture and keep (someone) imprisoned, demanding something (usually money) in exchange for their life) · to prey, snatch (take away with violence, take by force)
çekim: geçmiş raptei · ortaç raptado · şimdiki rapta
çekim: geçmiş răpit · ortaç răpit · şimdiki răpește
köken: Inherited from Vulgar Latin *rapīre, from Latin rapere, from Proto-Italic *rapiō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rp-i-, from *h₁rep- (“to snatch”).
köken: The Đại Nam quấc âm tự vị (1895) explains this as a truncation of the phrase bắt cóc bỏ dĩa (“pointless, futile”, literally “to get a toad and put it on a plate”), since a toad (captive) being put on a plate (useless confinement) can easily jump away; if so, the second element is indeed cóc (“toad”). Still, this might just be a folk etymology.
