Rigamarole is an American spelling of rigmarole. It is not about horses, ships, or pasta. The word means a long, silly, or string of talk or steps — the fuss that makes you roll your eyes. “We had to go through a whole rigamarole to get the papers stamped.” It is informal. British English almost always rigmarole; American English allows both, and rigamarole matches the way many people say it, with an extra “a” sound in the middle. The extra vowel is only in the spelling and the sound. The meaning does not change.
繁文縟節;一套又長又煩的手續(美式拼法)
組成This is only another spelling of rigmarole, not a different word. The older form probably comes from a long medieval list of names called a Ragman roll — likely, not something you must learn.
