Usage notes

Frequently confused with rack (torture; suffer pain), though traditionally means “wreck”. Etymologically, wrack and ruin (complete destruction) and storm-wracked (wrecked by a storm) are the only terms that derive from wrack, rather than rack. However in usage forms such as nerve-wracking are common, and considered acceptable by some authorities; see usage notes for rack.
