RIGGED Meaning and
Definition
-
Rigged is an adjective that refers to something being manipulated or altered dishonestly in order to achieve a desired outcome or advantage. The term is commonly used to describe any situation or event in which unfair practices or fraudulent methods are employed to tip the balance in favor of a specific individual or group.
In the context of competitions or elections, "rigged" implies that the rules have been intentionally modified to ensure a predetermined outcome, often disadvantaging others and depriving them of a fair chance. This can involve various means, such as tampering with votes, bribing officials, or imposing biased regulations that favor a particular participant.
In a broader sense, the term can also be applied to any system or process that is manipulated to benefit a specific entity, while compromising integrity, fairness, and transparency. For instance, an economy can be perceived as rigged if a select few are able to monopolize resources or manipulate markets to their advantage, resulting in unequal distribution of wealth and opportunities for others.
The word "rigged" typically carries a negative connotation, implying deceit, malpractice, or corruption. It underscores the violation of ethical standards and undermines the principles of fairness and equal opportunity. The use of "rigged" often reflects a perception or allegation of fraudulent activity, though it is important to note that it may not always reflect an objective reality and can sometimes be a subjective claim or perception based on personal biases or suspicions.

Etymology of RIGGED
The etymology of the word "rigged" can be traced back to the early 17th century. It originates from the verb "rig", which has two main possible origins:
1. Nautical Origin: The earliest usage of "rig" was in a nautical context, referring to the arrangement of a ship's sails, masts, and rigging. It came from the Old Norse word "rīggja", meaning "to make ready a ship". Over time, the term "rig" expanded to include the whole process of preparing a ship for sailing or maneuvering, including the setting up of the mast, sails, and associated equipment. From this nautical sense of "rig", the word "rigged" emerged to describe a ship that has been properly equipped or arranged.
