1839年南非英语中的 rant,意为“俯瞰河谷的岩石山脊”,源自南非荷兰语,来自荷兰语 rand “边缘,边缘,边缘”,源自原始日耳曼语 *randaz “边缘,边缘,外壳”(源头还包括古英语 rand “边缘,银行”,古高地德语 rant “盾牌的边界或边缘”,德语 Rand “边缘,边界,边缘”,古诺尔斯语 rönd “盾牌边缘,盾牌”,瑞典语 rand “条纹,边缘,边缘”)。
作为货币单位,于1961年被南非共和国采用(见 Krugerrand)。约翰逊的词典中有 rand “边界; 接缝:如 the rand of a woman's shoe。”古英语同源词在中古英语中幸存为 rand “土地的条纹或边缘”。

1 Holly spoke to the realtor, saying their budget was $4 million in South African rand (about $211,000 in American dollars) — which Holly assumed was $400,000 in rand.
2 At eight o’clock, he strolled through the Rand lobby and up to his office.
3 Rowan did as he was told and Scythe Rand passed the tweaker all over his body like some sort of magic wand.
4 Clearly, Chomsky and Rand were cut from a similar cloth as Goddard.
5 Without even being asked, Megan and Rand scooted apart and Ximena sat down between them, directly opposite Maya, me, and Summer.
6 The only person I didn’t know at all was Rand, but she seemed nice enough.
7 “It’s the only way to travel,” Scythe Rand said.
8 Besides 100 % safe, you will feel that you atr in the first rand among the world's trend.
除了100%安全感, 更让您身感融会到世界潮流的最前列.
9 Ingersoll Rand also maintains offices, warehouses and repair centers throughout the world.
英格索兰还有其他办事处 、 仓库以及维修中心分布在全世界各地.
10 Then the woman in green—Scythe Rand—emerged from the kitchen, bringing with her a man Easley’s wife had recently hired.
11 Outside the wails began to fade as Rand and Chomsky finished what they had begun.
12 “I propose,” said Scythe Rand, with the slickness of a deathstalker scorpion, “that upon the confirmation of the winner, the first order of business will be for that winner to glean the loser.”
13 With foreigners selling their South African assets, the rand is taking a knock.
随着外国人出售他们的南非资产,兰特收到了冲击。
14 “Yes,” Scythe Rand continued, “but clearly the competition has turned into camaraderie. How will we ever know which is the better candidate if they continue to aid each other?”
15 The building that collapsed was meant to house two-bedroom apartment units that were selling for about 1.7 million rand each (about $92,000), according to local media reports.
16 Each day was the same: a morning run with Scythe Rand, weight training with Scythe Chomsky, and a nutritionally precise breakfast prepared by a master chef.
17 The rand slumped by 22% against the dollar.
兰特同美元的汇率大幅下跌了22%。
18 “What I had in my safe at Rand,” Ellsberg would later recall, “was seven thousand pages of documentary evidence of lying, by four presidents and their administrations over twenty-three years.”
19 Scythes Rand and Chomsky have these morbid conversations.
20 Rowan turned and saw Chomsky standing at the entrance of the chapel, with Rand beside him.
