Muscadin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term Muscadin refers to idle youth, particularly young boys, during the time of the French Revolution. From about 1793 to 1795 these well-dressed young men rebelled against the carelessness of the sans-culottes. They organized into gangs and generally harassed and attacked Jacobin vendors. Their weapons of choice were metal bludgeons and canes, sometimes twisted or knobbed. The Muscadin are considered to be part of the White Terror in response to the Reign of Terror.

Le Robert Micro: muscadin - (Autrefois). Élegant ridicule (notamment à l'époque de la Révolution, du Directoire)

Explanation:
Muscadin, también llamado "muscardin, es una palabra antigua que en español puede traducirse como "currutaco", término que ha caído en desuso, evidentemente. Te envío unos enlaces para confirmar. También te propongo otras opciones como ves: caballerete, lechuguino, pero la primera es la que encontré específicamente para la palabra en cuestión.

Example sentence(s):
  • 9 Cuando la Academia y los visitantes del Hôtel de Rambouillet discuten sobre si debe decirse muscadin o muscardin y se deciden por muscadin, compone unos versos para burlarse de los partidarios de la otra forma, OEuvres, II, 430:
