riggonn.

Brit.

/ˈrɪɡən/, U.S.

/ˈrɪɡən/

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by derivation. Etymon: rig n.¹

Etymology: Apparently ultimately < rig n.¹, although the origin of the ending is uncertain. With the same sense compare earlier rig n.², riggold n., slightly earlier riggot n.¹, rigling n., and also (apparently ultimately reflecting ridge n.¹ rather than rig n.¹) ridgel n., ridgeling n. For the likely semantic motivation of these words, see rig n.²

rare (now historical).

A ram having only one testicle, or only one testicle descended. Cf. rig n.²
