ROUGHHOUSED Meaning and Definition

Roughhousing can be seen as a form of play that allows individuals to exert their physical energy, test limits, and build camaraderie.

Etymology of ROUGHHOUSED

The word "roughhouse" is derived from the combination of two separate words: "rough" and "house".

The term "rough" originated from the Old English word "ruh", which meant coarse or rugged. Over time, it evolved into the Middle English word "rough", maintaining the same basic meaning. In this context, "rough" refers to something that is not smooth, gentle, or refined but rather characterized by roughness or physical force.

The word "house" comes from the Old English word "hūs", which simply means a dwelling or place of residence. It has remained relatively unchanged in its meaning throughout history.

When combined, "roughhouse" was created as a verb to describe engaging in rough, rowdy, or boisterous activities within a house or any enclosed space. It commonly refers to playfully or aggressively engaging in energetic physical activities such as wrestling, horseplay, or rough play.
