A quick definition of rapture:

Term: RAPTURE

Definition: Rapture is an old-fashioned word that means forcefully taking someone, especially a woman, and carrying them away. It used to be used in legal cases for rape.

A more thorough explanation:

Rapture is an old-fashioned word that has two meanings:

  1. The act of forcibly taking someone, especially a woman, and carrying them away. This is also known as abduction.
  2. A term that used to be used in legal cases for rape.

Example 1: The knight rode up to the castle and took the princess by force, leading to her rapture.

Example 2: The accused was charged with rapture and sentenced to life in prison.

These examples illustrate the two meanings of rapture. In the first example, the knight abducted the princess, which is an act of rapture. In the second example, the term is used in a legal context to describe the crime of rape.

Their admissions office is actually top tier, had a problem with a letter of rec that went out to all schools and they personally emailed me and made sure it got fixed. Rocketed them up my internal ranking fs
