词源：
rack (n.1)c. 1300, "grating or open frame with bars or pegs upon which things are hung or placed," especially for kitchen use, possibly from Middle Dutch rec "framework," literally "something stretched out, related to recken (modern rekken) "stretch out," cognate with Old English reccan "to stretch out," from Proto-Germanic rak- (source also of Old Saxon rekkian, Old Frisian reza, Old Norse rekja, Old High German recchen, German recken, Gothic uf-rakjan "to stretch out"), from PIE root reg- "to move in a straight line."
Or it might have developed from the Old English verb. The sense of "frame on which clothes or skins are stretched to dry" is by early 14c. The sense of "framework above a manger for holding hay or other fodder for livestock" is from mid-14c. As the name of a type of instrument of torture by early 15c., perhaps from German rackbank, originally an implement for stretching leather, etc. Sense of "punishment by the rack" is by 1580s.
Mechanical meaning "metal bar with teeth on one edge" is from 1797 (see pinion). Meaning "set of antlers" is first attested 1945, American English; hence slang sense of "a woman’s breasts" (especially if large), by 1991. Meaning "framework for displaying clothes" is from 1948; hence off the rack (1951) of clothing, as opposed to tailored.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
机架 (n.1)c. 1300，“带有横杆或钉子的格栅或开放式框架，用于悬挂或放置物品”，特别是用于厨房，可能来自中古荷兰语 rec“框架”，字面意思是“伸展的东西，与 rekken（现代 rekken）有关” ” 与古英语 reccan “伸展”同源，源自原始日耳曼语 rak-（也源自古撒克逊语 rekkian、古弗里斯兰语 reza、古诺尔斯语 rekja、古高地德语 recchen、德语 recken、哥特语 uf-rakjan “到伸展”），源自 PIE 词根 reg-“沿直线移动。”或者它可能是从古英语动词发展而来的。“衣服或皮肤被拉伸晾干的框架”的意思是 14c 早期. “马槽上方的框架，用于盛放干草或其他牲畜饲料”的含义是从 14c 中期开始的。作为 15c 早期的一种刑具的名称，可能来自德国 rackbank，最初是一种用于拉伸皮革的工具等。“用架子惩罚”的意思是 1580 年代。机械意思是“一个边缘有齿的金属棒e" 来自 1797 年（见小齿轮）。 1945年美国英语首次证明“一组鹿角”的意思；因此，到 1991 年，俚语的意思是“女人的乳房”（尤其是大的）。意思是“展示衣服的框架”是从 1948 年开始的；因此从服装的架子（1951 年）中脱颖而出，而不是量身定制。相关条目及更多
