Etymology: "Roached" is the past tense and past participle of "roach," used as a verb meaning to cut or trim a horse's mane, or in sailing, to give a sail a curved edge. It comes from the noun "roach," which in nautical use refers to the curve or edge of a sail. The sense of the verb follows from that: to roach something is to shape it into that curve.
