词组 ragga; ragamuffin; raggamuffin
释义 ragga; ragamuffin; raggamuffin
noun
a ruffian, usually of West Indian racial origin UK
Originally a West Indian and UK black term with an approving tone; probably derived from the conventional sense of a “raggedy” (a disreputable person); ultimately from Ragamoffyn, a demon in the Middle English poem “Piers Plowman” by William Langland (perhaps 1330–1386). The derivation is likely to be influenced by Jamaican “raga-raga” (ragged) and “ragamofi” (ragged clothes).
