The word “rogue” can be pronounced in two ways: /rg/ or /rg/. The first pronunciation is more common in American English, while the second pronunciation is more common in British English.
The word “rogue” comes from the French word “rogue,” which means “a vagabond or scoundrel.” The word was first used in English in the 16th century to describe a person who was dishonest or untrustworthy. Over time, the word “rogue” has come to be used more broadly to describe someone who is independent or unconventional.
