ODE中rattle词条 中译部分重复了序号，是因为多次对AI指示formatting adjustment造成表述前后不一的结果，但这不影响大局。

词形演变：古英语 hrætel（复合词中）、hratele…（完整保留原文拼写体系）
Origin: Apparently an imitative or expressive formation. Perhaps also partly formed within English, by conversion. Etymon: RATTLE *v.*¹
词源：显为拟声或表意构词，部分可能由英语内部转化形成。词源：rattle *v.*¹
Etymology: Apparently ultimately of imitative origin; compare RATTLE v.¹ and discussion at that entry. In sense 1 apparently related to and probably cognate with Dutch ratel (16th cent. denoting both Rhinanthus and Pedicularis), Middle High German rasela, razela, probably denoting Rhinanthus (12th cent.; compare German regional (Rhineland) Rassel in the same sense). In other senses perhaps independently < RATTLE v.¹ Compare Middle Dutch rātele, rātel rattle, as used to sound an alert, etc. (Dutch ratel rattle, originally spec. as used by a nightwatchman (16th cent.)), German Rassel rattle, clapper, in early use especially as used by a nightwatchman, or as a child’s toy (16th cent.). Compare also Old English hrate (one isolated attestation, glossing the same plant as in quot. OE at sense 1):
词源细节：拟声起源，参照 rattle v.¹。释义1关联荷兰语 ratel（16世纪指Rhinanthus与Pedicularis属植物）、中古高地德语 rasela（12世纪或指Rhinanthus）。其余释义或独立源于 rattle *v.*¹，对比中古荷兰语 rātele（报警器等用响器）、德语 Rassel（更夫响器或儿童玩具）。另参古英语 hrate（植物名孤例）：
lOE Durham Plant Gloss. 10
Bobonaca, hrate.
Some of the compounds listed at this entry could alternatively be analysed as showing RATTLE *v.*¹; compare also compounds which are given as main entries. In sense 3 perhaps a different word, perhaps showing a metathetic variant of WARTLE n.; compare WATTLE *n.*²
注：部分复合词或源于 rattle *v.*¹。释义3或为异词，可能系 wartle n. 换音变体，参照 wattle *n.*²
