Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Originating in American slang during the late 20th century, the term originally combined 'raw' (unprotected) and 'dog' (to engage in sexual activity). In contemporary modern usage, its meaning has broadened significantly to describe enduring an arduous experience, particularly a long-haul flight, without any forms of entertainment, comfort items, or artificial stimulation.
