Bankrupt \Bank"rupt\, n. [F. banqueroute, fr. It. bancarotta
   bankruptcy; banca bank (fr. OHG. banch, G. bank, bench) +
   rotta broken, fr. L. ruptus, p. p. of rumpere to break. At

   Note: In England, until the year 1861 none but a ``trader''
         could be made a bankrupt; a non-trader failing to meet
         his liabilities being an ``insolvent''. But this
         distinction was abolished by the Bankruptcy Act of
         1861. The laws of 1841 and 1867 of the United States
         relating to bankruptcy applied this designation
         bankrupt to others besides those engaged in trade.
