Etymology
The word 'rogued' is derived from the noun 'rogue,' which has its roots in the late 16th century. Initially, 'rogue' referred to a dishonest or unprincipled man, often a beggar or a cheat. The etymology of 'rogue' is somewhat uncertain but is believed to have come from the English dialect 'rogue,' meaning to wander, or perhaps from the Old French 'rogue' meaning 'a wanderer.' Over time, the word evolved, and by the 17th century, it began to take on a more playful connotation. 'Roguish' started to emerge in literary works in the 19th century, often describing characters with a devil-may-care attitude that charm rather than repel. Such characters often navigate the world using their wit and charm, leading to the favorable perception of 'roguish' behavior in certain contexts.
