Brit.

/ˈrʌɡi/, U.S.

/ˈrəɡi/

Forms: late Middle English roggy, late Middle English rogi, late Middle English– ruggy, 1500s ruggie.

Origin: Of uncertain origin.

Etymology: Origin uncertain. Although the word is evidently related to, and largely synonymous with, earlier rugged adj.¹, the precise nature of the relationship is unclear. Probably ultimately < early Scandinavian; compare Old Swedish ruggotter rough, uneven (Swedish †ruggot , (now regional) rugget , (with suffix substitution) ruggig rough, uneven, shaggy, tattered, ramshackle, slovenly, unpleasant, disagreeable, (of weather) bleak, chilly, (of a person) unwell) < the same Scandinavian base (with suffix forming adjectives) as Swedish rugg ruffled or coarse hair, coarse cloth (see rug n.³). In Orkney use (in sense 3) probably via Norn. Compare also earlier raggy adj.¹With sense 3 perhaps compare also Norwegian regional rugga på seg to put on too many clothes ( < rugga coarse coverlet: see rug n.³).

Now regional and rare.

1. = rugged adj.¹ (in various senses). regional in later use.
