单词 storm-racked
释义

storm-racked

English

Etymology

Variant of storm-wracked.

Noun

storm-racked (not comparable)

  1. (idiomatic, proscribed) Destroyed by a storm.

Usage notes

Etymologically incorrect, due to confusion of rack (torture, suffer) with wrack (destroy). Correct is storm-wracked, which is accordingly preferred by style guides; however, both are common and well-established. Unusually, storm-racked replaces wrack with rack; other confusions instead replace rack with wrack. See usage notes for rack for details.
