Also means
rave (music event)
Usage Note
Rave has two distinct uses in modern French: the traditional meaning is a root vegetable related to the turnip, seen in dishes like chou-rave (kohlrabi); the second is the borrowed English sense of an underground or outdoor dance event. Context disambiguates them completely. Note that betterave (beetroot) contains the same root.
Examples
"La soupe de rave était très nourrissante."
Natural Translation
The turnip soup was very nourishing.
