Word origin

The word 'risque' originated from French, where it means 'dangerous' or 'risky'. It was first used in English in the early 19th century to describe something daring or bold, often with a hint of inappropriate behavior. Over time, it has come to be associated more with suggestive or sexually provocative content.
