a disreputable and violent person

the rear of the column was attacked by roughs

(on a golf course) longer grass around the fairway and the green

his second shot lay in the rough

a preliminary sketch

I did a rough to work out the scale of the lettering

an uncut precious stone

miners discovered one of the biggest diamond roughs in history

work or shape (something) in a rough, preliminary fashion

the piece of glass is now roughed into a circular form

flat surfaces of wood are roughed down

make uneven

the water was roughed by the wind

rough up the icing with a palette knife

live in discomfort with only basic necessities

she'd had to rough it alone in digs
