Farouche (adj)
fa-roosh
sullenly unsociable or shy.
Farouche comes from Old French. Prior to that, farouche may come from Late Latin forāsticus, “belonging outside,” from Latin forās or forīs, “outside, out of doors,” which is the source of foreign, forest, and forfeit. Farouche was first recorded in English in the 1760s.
