What does ROUE mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
A man who leads a life devoted to sensual pleasure and dissipation; a debauchee.
The word roue comes from French and originally meant someone deserving to be broken on the wheel as punishment, but English kept only the sense of a shamelessly immoral man who chases pleasure, drink and women. It is most often used of an older man whose immoral habits are long-standing and well known in society, rather than of a young man who might still reform.
