Definitions

  1. farm machine that gathers a food crop from the fields

Word origin

From Middle English reper, repare, repere, *riper (the last, attested only in surnames Ryper, Riper, etc.), from Old English rīpere (“reaper”), equivalent to reap + -er.

Used in a sentence

  • Even as we looked some rumour seemed to have spread, for we saw the reapers hurrying from the fields.
  • Don't fear the Reaper / We'll be able to fly
  • Why is the Grim Reaper a man? True, the noun ending would theoretically allow us to visualize the reaper as a woman as well, but we don't.
