词源
racket (n.1)”loud, disorderly, confusing noise,” 1560s, probably imitative. Klein and Century Dictionary compare Gaelic racaid “noise, disturbance,” but OED says this “is no doubt from Eng.”
Meaning “dishonest activity” (1785) is perhaps an extended sense, from the notion of “something going on” or “noise or disturbance made to distract a pick-pocket’s victim.” Or it might be from racquet, via the notion of “a game,” or from or reinforced by rack-rent “extortionate rent.” There also was a verb racket “carry on eager or energetic action” (1753), and the gangster sense might be via the notion of “exciting and unusual.” Weakened sense of “way of life, one’s line of business” is by 1891.Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
球拍 (n.1)“大声、混乱、混乱的噪音”,1560 年代,可能是模仿品。克莱因和世纪词典将盖尔语racaid比作“噪音、干扰”,但《牛津英语词典》表示这“毫无疑问来自英语”。 “不诚实活动”(1785)的含义可能是一种延伸含义,源自“正在发生的事情”或“为了分散扒手受害者的注意力而制造的噪音或骚乱”的概念。或者它可能来自球拍,通过“一场比赛”的概念,或者来自机架租金“勒索租金”或通过其强化。还有一个动词“racket”“进行热切或充满活力的行动”(1753),而黑帮意识可能是通过“令人兴奋和不寻常”的概念来体现的。到 1891 年,“生活方式、职业”意识减弱。相关条目及更多
