Etymology
Ravisher can also mean a very attractive person. It comes from ravish and the old word rapere meaning 'to seize' or 'carry away', so you can think of a ravisher as someone who 'carries away' others with their beauty, like being 'carried away' by strong feeling, a bit like the word rapture.
