Today I pull from the little red bag:


rax - v., to stretch oneself, as after sleeping.


Mainly north England use, but the word dates back to Old English and is akin to the ancestor of rack, which in turn is akin to right. And that's this week of Words My True Love Gave Me -- back to the regular mix on Monday.
