Rawhide was the nickname for the Red Hat Linux development "release". 
The devel directory contained the latest (not necessarily QA'ed) RPMs for 
RHL, so it was a "rolling release". The name comes from the old TV western 
of the same name, whose theme song had lyrics "Rollin', Rollin', 
Rollin'...Rawhide!"

These days, it's used as a synonym for the Fedora development tree.
