Etymology 1

From Middle English Category:English terms inherited from Middle English#RABBIT Category:English terms derived from Middle English#RABBIT rabet, rabette, from Anglo-Latin Category:English terms derived from Latin#RABBIT rabettus, from dialectal Old French Category:English terms derived from Old French#RABBIT rabotte, probably a diminutive of Middle Dutch Category:English terms derived from Middle Dutch#RABBIT or West Flemish Category:English terms derived from West Flemish#RABBIT robbe (“rabbit, seal”), of uncertain origin; possibly some imitative Category:English onomatopoeias#RABBIT verb, maybe robben, rubben (“to rub”) is used here to allude to a characteristic of the animal. See rub.

Related forms include Middle French rabouillet (“baby rabbit”) and in French rabot (“plane”)), coming via Walloon Old French Category:English terms derived from Old French#RABBIT (reflected nowadays as Walloon robète (“rabbit”)), from Middle Dutch Category:English terms derived from Middle Dutch#RABBIT robbe ("rabbit; seal"; whence Modern Dutch rob (“rabbit", also "seal”)); also Middle Low German robbe, rubbe (“rabbit”), and the later German Low German Rubbe, Robb (“seal”), West Frisian robbe (“seal”), Saterland Frisian Rubbe (“seal”), North Frisian rob (“seal”), borrowed into German Robbe (“seal”).

Meant "young rabbit" until the 19th c., when it came to replace the original general term cony, owing to the latter's resemblance to and use as a euphemism for cunny, "vulva" (compare ass and donkey).

Note that there is no inherited Germanic word for rabbits, since hares are the only leporids native to Britain (as with all of Europe outside the Iberian Peninsula and southwest France); rabbits were introduced from France in the late Middle Ages, likely after the Norman Invasion. (Fittingly, hare is indeed inherited from Proto-Germanic.)
