Etymology

From at- + rast (“to find”). From an earlier meaning “to straighten up, to stand up (with something found)” (cf. the earlier meaning “to bend, to sway” of rast), it developed the current meaning “to find.” The intransitive meaning “to wean”, “to lose a habit” is apparently derived from the other (older) meaning of rast, “to grow.”
