    I found as obsolete spelling of deraign; maybe this definition was unintendedly left out of lexic.

      Thanks, BoggleOtaku. That sounds plausible. The Oxford English Dictionary lists that meaning, and also an obsolete use from the 1500s where it meant "To rain down, fall as rain.": https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/?q=derain
