"Roue" is an English term borrowed from French, appearing in the 17th century, originally referring to a man leading a dissolute or decadent lifestyle. The word comes from the French roué, meaning "broken on the wheel," which was later metaphorically applied to describe someone morally shattered or corrupt, particularly through indulgence in sexual vices and luxury. It has been used in literature, drama, and historical commentary to depict men as debauched, indulgent, or morally lax. The term is clearly derogatory, emphasizing condemnation of character, though it often carries a somewhat literary or historical tone rather than common modern usage.
