caddish
Like a rotter
Caddish describes behavior that is dishonorable, ungentlemanly, or showing a lack of consideration for others—particularly in romantic or social contexts.
A caddish man might lead someone on, break promises callously, or treat others with selfish disregard.
His caddish behavior at the party embarrassed everyone.
The word derives from cad and carries an old-fashioned, slightly theatrical flavor, evoking Victorian notions of gentlemanly conduct and its violations.
