Etymology

**Risqué** comes from the French verb *risquer* “to risk, to expose to danger,” which is in turn derived from the noun *risque* “danger, risk.” The noun dates back to the 12th‑century Old French *risque*, itself borrowed from Latin *riscō* “to risk, to test,” a form that ultimately goes back to the root *risk‑* meaning “chance, hazard.” The adjective developed in the 18th–19th centuries with the sense “exposing to danger or risk.”
