For over thirty years I have used "wrought" as a term for a mistress/bit-on-the-side, but have never been sure of its origin. Could someone please help me with a translation.

How about "wrought iron gate" = bedmate?
There's also the other word "wraught" as in "overwraught", which is pronounced the same way. So another suggestion:
"wraught" = "overwraught" = "leg over, don't be caught!"

The term "wrought" is a term for labor.... the past tense of "work".....
"What have you wrought before us?"......
I think its term is an archaic expression... Not sure....

Never heard of it. I even checked the rhyming slang dictionary.
