Talk:raising

What does "raising" mean in this text:

SICINIUS

'Tis this slave;-- Go whip him, 'fore the people's eyes:--his raising; Nothing but his report.

William Shakespeare "Coriolanus" Act IV, Scene 6. Igor Skoglund


 * Our woefully incomplete entry for raise missed the senses incite:, excite:, rouse:, which are perhaps best considered "archaic" in modern English. DCDuring TALK 03:59, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

What food is a "Raising"?
