单词	knave
释义	knave /nayv/, n. 1. an unprincipled, untrustworthy, or dishonest person. 2. Cards. jack¹ (def. 2). 3. Archaic. a. a male servant. b. a man of humble position. [bef. 1000; ME; OE cnafa; c. G Knabe boy; akin to ON knapi page, boy] Syn. 1. blackguard, villain, scamp, scapegrace. KNAVE, RASCAL, ROGUE, SCOUNDREL are disparaging terms applied to persons considered base, dishonest, or worthless. KNAVE, which formerly meant merely a boy or servant, in modern use emphasizes baseness of nature and intention: a dishonest and swindling knave. RASCAL suggests shrewdness and trickery in dishonesty: a plausible rascal. A ROGUE is a worthless fellow who sometimes preys extensively upon the community by fraud: photographs of criminals in a rogues' gallery. A SCOUNDREL is a blackguard and rogue of the worst sort: a thorough scoundrel. RASCAL and ROGUE are often used affectionately or humorously (an entertaining rascal; a saucy rogue), but KNAVE and SCOUNDREL are not. Ant. hero.
