Pronunciation

Etymology 1

[edit]

Attested since the 18th century. FromMiddle French*rogue, ofGermanic origin, ultimately fromProto-Germanic*hrugną(“spawn, roe”), itself possibly fromProto-Indo-European*krek-(“spawn, frogspawn”). The immediate source is eitherDutchroge orOld Norsehrogn. The late attestation speaks forDutch origin. However, theTrésor de la langue française says the word is especially Norman, which makes Old Norse origin plausible. Cognate with Englishroe, which see.
