Usage Examples

Etymology

The noun *rebut* comes from the Old French verb **rebuter** “to break off, separate,” which is a combination of the prefix **re‑** (again, back) and **bout** “end, fragment” (from Latin *bōtus* “piece”). First attested in the Middle Ages, it originally denoted a scrap or fragment of metal left after forging.
