Nguồn gốc từ

Originally short for “rifled gun”, referring to the spiral grooves inside the barrel. From Middle English riflen (to rob, plunder, search through), from Old French rifler (to lightly scratch, scrape off, plunder), from Old High German riffilōn (compare riffeln, archaic rijfelen, rifelan, riflian (to wrinkle)), frequentative of Proto-Germanic *rīfaną (compare rífa).
