goujat

boor, churl; dogsbody, lackey

“— Quel misérable! quel goujat!… quelle infamie! se disait-elle, en fuyant d'un pied nerveux sous les trembles de la route.”

Probably dialectal: Lorrain goujart, or Occitan gojat, both two at sense of “young man” (f. gouge), but the first meaning could still be “young female”; possibly from Latin gaudium.
