I have absolutely zero clue where this word could come from, and so I'm following any vague idea I can think of, perhaps I'll hit a similarity

It is quite confidently not Slavic, it could be onomatopoeic but the length of the word makes me doubt that

Most words which start with « rapi » ultimately come from Latin « rapere »

Or are unrelated words with the « ra- » prefix, a variant of « re- »
