Talk:raising

What does "raising" mean in this text:

SICINIUS

   'Tis this slave;--
   Go whip him, 'fore the people's eyes:--his raising;
   Nothing but his report.

William Shakespeare "Coriolanus" Act IV, Scene 6. Igor Skoglund

Our woefully incomplete entry for raise#Verb missed the senses (deprecated template usage) incite, (deprecated template usage) excite, (deprecated template usage) rouse, which are perhaps best considered "archaic" in modern English. DCDuring TALK 03:59, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

What food is a "Raising"?

I read that Mexican Mole contains "seedless raisings".

It's probably a typo for raisins. - -sche (discuss) 05:36, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
