Definition
A sudden attack or invasion, typically for the purpose of causing damage, stealing, or arresting someone.
Etymology
From Scots 'rade', a variant of 'road' meaning 'a riding, journey on horseback'. Originally referred to mounted attacks across borders. The connection to 'road' reflects the path taken during such attacks.
Kelly Says
Police raids and Viking raids share the same etymology despite their different contexts - both involve swift, purposeful journeys to achieve specific objectives. In computing, RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) cleverly repurposes the military term for data storage strategy.
