Arranchado?

En otro foro encontré la palabra 'arrachados'. No puedo encontrarla en el diccionario, ni por el internet.

Supongo que hay un verbo como 'arranchar', pero tambien no pude encontrarla.

Alguien sabe?

Gracias

arranchar
v. brace, rest; sail close to someplace; snatch, attempt to seize; take abruptly

If the "n" is there, the above are a couple of meanings... ("arranchados")

If you give us the context, we could probably figure it out...

If you are talking about "viento arrachado" it probably means "viento a rachas" or "racheado", i.e., "gusty wind"

Exactamente! Viento arrachado. Si, racha->arrachado, tiene sentido.

Gracias
