To roughhouse is to play in a loud, physical way — wrestling, shoving, tumbling on the floor — as if you were fighting, but you are not really angry. Children roughhouse on the sofa. Puppies roughhouse. It is informal, mostly American, and it can be a noun too: “That’s enough roughhouse.” Though actually, adults often reach for it when the play has gone a bit too far, or when they want it to stop. It is play that looks like a fight. If someone is trying to hurt the other person, that is not roughhousing any more.
打鬧、嬉鬧（扭打著玩，不是真的打架）
組成From rough + house. The “house” does not clearly mean a building; the two pieces were stuck together for rough indoor play, and the verb followed.
