What does ROGUE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A dishonest or unprincipled person, especially one who cheats or deceives others.
A rogue tricks people for personal gain, yet the word can also carry a softer, almost fond tone when it describes someone mischievous rather than truly dangerous. The same word became an adjective for an animal, especially an elephant, that has left the herd to live and act alone, often becoming unpredictable or destructive. From that image comes the wider modern use of rogue for anything that behaves outside normal control, such as a rogue state, a rogue wave, or a rogue computer program. Gardeners even use rogue as a verb, meaning to pull inferior or diseased plants out of a crop.
How ROGUE is used
Common in everyday English both for a dishonest person and, as an adjective, for anything unpredictable or acting outside normal control.
