Etymology

The word 'ogreish' is derived from the noun 'ogre,' which originates from the French word 'ogre,' used in folklore to describe a mythological creature known for its monstrous and often gruesome nature. The concept of the ogre has its roots in various European legends where it is depicted as a large, terrifying being that preys on humans, especially children.
