eye just looked up the definition and found what is generally given to be incomplete here is additional info on words from the same root with same context.

Rape is a crime where the victim is forced into activity, (sexual or non)
AGAINST HIS OR HER OWN WILL. The word originates from the Latin rapere: to seize or take by force. The Greek word for "abduct" is "harpazo," which also means "to rape/to abduct"

Originally, the word rape was akin to rapine, rapture, raptor, and rapacious, and referred to the more general violations, such as looting, destruction, and capture of citizens that are inflicted upon a town or country during war, eg. the Rape of Nanking. Today, some dictionaries still define rape to include any serious and destructive assault against a person or community. From Wikipedia
