We've all grown-up using particular words, such as "hooligan" without knowing how they actually came into everyday usage.
As "thug" derives from "the Thuggee cult" it could be contentious as recently there has been a spread of people of Indian (Bharat) origin achieving positions of political power around the world. But, this seems to be happening with selections for positions in the Trump administration, too.
Thuggee activity against the British rule in India gives "thugs" a suggestion of fighting oppression. A religious cult also known for banditry and murder. The idea of thugs being henchman comes later from it being a commonly known term. I imagine english-speaking people started saying of gang members and hired muscle in the pay-of-others, "They're like the thugs" and it developed from there.
While I don't know of any word beyond "khaki" that sounds like the latin derived word "caca", I reckon "kakistocracy" cannot be miscontrued as anything other than rule by shits.
