rastouer,  rastuher,  rastuwer;  rasture;  ratuer   (retuer)  
  FEW:  *rasitoria *10,90a Gdf: ∅ GdfC: ∅ TL: ∅ DEAF:  rastoire (*)  DMF: ∅ TLF: ∅ OED: ∅ MED: ∅ DMLBS: ∅

While this rare word’s etymon is probably *rasitoria (‘streichmass’, i.e. ‘levelled measure’), there may have been some influence, semantically rather than formally, from rastellus (cf. rastel: ‘rake’).
