WHAT DOES MANQUE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Manqué

Manqué is a term used in reference to a person who has failed to live up to a specific expectation or ambition. It is usually used in combination with a profession: for example, a career civil servant with political prowess who nonetheless never attained political office might be described as a "politician manqué". It can also be used relative to a specific role model; a second-rate method actor might be referred to as a "Marlon Brando manqué". Marlon Brando himself, in fact, plays a classic role of a kind of manqué foreman among dockworkers in the classic On The Waterfront. The term derives from the past participle of the French verb manquer. In English, it is used in the manner of a French adjective: postpositively. The British political writer and former M.P. David Marquand has described the mid-20th century Labour politician Aneurin Bevan as a "statesman manqué", while the magazine Private Eye referred to journalist Janet Street-Porter as an "architect manquée".
