@HeavySpoilers on #RATCHED (@NETFLIX-backstory for #OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest) | @Onomast

'That word' (below-hyperlinked to Spoiler Man's review of the NETFLIX-series RATCHED) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

The name “Ratched” is ... as far as I can find, it's totally invented by Ken Kesey; but it's said that she symbolizes Limitations-of-Freedom & Oppressions-of-Society, and the One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest-nurse's surname reminds me of the word #Ratchet, built on ancient words that mean |Fabric, |Spun |Yarn (see |Rocket). #Ratcheted #Racheting
