Meaning of "ragabash" in English

"Ragabash" is an archaic English term historically used to describe a rogue, scoundrel, or a mischievous person. The word carries a light-hearted connotation, suggesting someone who is playfully deceitful or cunning. It doesn't necessarily imply malevolent intent but rather a person who causes harmless trouble or enjoys pranks. As language has evolved, the term has become less common in modern usage, but it still evokes the image of light-hearted mischief rather than serious wrongdoing.
