RECK, verb intransitive [Latin rego. See Rack and Reckon.] To care; to mind; to rate at much; as we say, to reckon much of; followed by of. obsolete Thou's but a lazy loorde, and recks much of thy swinke. I reck as little what betideth me, as much I wish all good befortune you. Of night or loneliness it recks me not. RECK, verb transitive To heed; to regard; to care for. This son of mine not recking danger. [This verb is obsolete unless in poetry. We observe the primary sense and application in the phrase, 'it recks me not, ' that is, it does not strain or distress me; it does not rack my mind. To reck danger is a derivative form of expression, and a deviation from the proper sense of the verb.]
