The French word rogue describes a person that is what?

The French word "rogue" is a bit of a tricky one. It's not a standard French word, but rather a borrowed word from English. In French, you would use words like "voyou" or "coquin" to describe a rogue, which both translate to "rascal" or "rogue" in English.

These terms generally describe someone who is:

* Dishonest or deceitful: A rogue might be a con artist, a thief, or someone who engages in shady business practices.

* Unruly or mischievous: A rogue could also be someone who is playful, mischievous, or even a bit of a rebel.

* Independent and unconventional: This aspect is less common, but sometimes a rogue is simply someone who doesn't follow the rules and does their own thing.

So, while the French word "rogue" itself isn't really used, the concept of a rogue is definitely present in French language and culture.
