rhapsodyrhapsody: [16] A rhapsody is etymologically the product of a ‘weaver of songs’. It goes back ultimately to Greek rhapsōidíā ‘epic poem recited on a single occasion’, which was derived from rhapsōidós ‘writer of such poems’. This was a compound formed from rháptein ‘sew together’ and ōidé ‘song’ (source of English ode, parody, prosody, etc). The somewhat trivialized modern meaning ‘self-indulgently effusive piece of verse, music, etc’ emerged in the 17th century.=> melody, ode, parody, prosodyrhapsody (n.)1540s, "epic poem," from Middle French rhapsodie, from Latin rhapsodia, from Greek rhapsoidia "verse composition, recitation of epic poetry; a book, a lay, a canto," from rhapsodos "reciter of epic poems," literally "one who stitches or strings songs together," from rhaptein "to stitch, sew, weave" (see wrap (v.)) + oide "song" (see ode). Meaning "exalted enthusiastic feeling or expression" is from 1630s. Meaning "sprightly musical composition" is first recorded 1850s.
