Pronounced as (IPA)

/rasˈɡaɾ/

Etymology

Inherited from Old Spanish: resgar

Inherited from Latin: resecō

In summary

Probably an alteration of Old Spanish resgar (with influence from rascar), itself likely from Latin resecāre; cognate to English resect, cf. also rasguñar ("to scratch and sketch"). Likely a doublet of resecar.
