The term 'rakish sort' can be defined by two crossword solutions: SATYR (5 letters) and ROUE (4 letters). A SATYR is a creature from Greek mythology, typically depicted as having the upper body of a human and the lower body of a goat. Satyrs were known for their wild and rakish behavior. A ROUE is a man who is devoted to a life of pleasure and luxury, often with a reputation for being sexually promiscuous. Both satyrs and roues are examples of rakish sorts.
