What does "roguelike" mean?

Initially it had a pretty specific definition of being similar to a game called Rogue... so (I think) a dungeon-crawling type of RPG with randomly generated levels and permanent death. I think the gameplay was sort of like a Mystery Dungeon game.

Over the past like decade the term has broadened a lot to refer to basically any run-based game regardless of how the game actually plays. At this point if it has randomly generated levels and permanent death its going to get called a roguelike.

then theres another term, roguelite which refers to games that have randomly generated levels and permadeath but also have some kind of overarching progression system so even if you die during a run you make some progress that will help you on a subsequent run
