Where it comes from

Borrowed from Danish rype.

noun rypes

A bird, the ptarmigan. The rypes and our red grouse are identically the same bird, though disease has never been known in the former, and even interbreeding with the red grouse, to the limited extent they are ever likely to do, should do more good than harm.

rype^²

adjective

obsolete Obsolete spelling of ripe
