The answer
ROUGH
What rough means
Having an uneven, bumpy, or coarse surface texture rather than smooth, or involving physical force and lack of gentleness.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *ruh*, meaning coarse or shaggy. This traces back to Proto-Germanic *rūhaz*, which may be related to Old Norse *rúgr* (roughness). The sense of "violent" or "harsh" developed in Middle English. The exact ultimate origin remains uncertain, though some linguists tentatively connect it to Indo-European roots meaning "to pull" or "to tear."
