Etymology
1. 1561, "idle vagrant," perhaps a shortened form of
roger (with a hard
-g-), thieves' slang for a begging vagabond who pretends to be a poor scholar from Oxford or Cambridge, perhaps from L.
rogare "to ask." Another theory traces it to Celtic (cf. Bret.
rog "haughty"); OED says, "There is no evidence of connexion with F.
rogue 'arrogant.' "
Rogue's gallery "police collection of mug shots" is attested from 1859.
2. Uncertain. From either:
3. * Earlier English roger (“a begging vagabond who pretends to be a poor scholar from Oxford or Cambridge”), possibly from Latin rogō (“to ask”).
4. * Middle French rogue (“arrogant, haughty”), from Old Northern French rogre (“aggressive”), from Old Norse hrokr (“excess, exuberance”), for which see Icelandic hroki (“arrogance”), though OED does not document this.
5. * Celtic; see Breton rog (“haughty”). See: Latin '
rogō'.
