It’s an obscure formation from the same root as incarcerate, and means prison- related (or, I suspect, in this case, imprisonment oriented).

Asked on March 19, 2021 in Meaning.
Is “rough” a use which isn’t the basic meaning of “rough”? When used to describe an irregular surface, a rough surface is considered “crude” or rough. This is the sense that’s to do with the overall shape of the surface. Both meanings arise through metaphorical analogy with the physical sense. The “pushed me roughly” derives from the concept of “rough behavior”, where behavior stereotyped as associated with lower working, social class is thought of as “rough”, as opposed to upper classes being glorified as clean and “policed”. What the term “roughly the same” indicates rises from analogy of roughness in terms of precision and fit; think of the way two rough surfaces are together as opposed to the way two smooth surfaces are
together.
