DISHEVEL Meaning and Definition

1. Dishevel is a verb that describes the action or state of something becoming untidy, messy, or disordered, usually in relation to someone's appearance or an object's arrangement. When someone's appearance or physical presentation becomes disheveled, it means their hair, clothing, or overall look appears unkempt, disorderly, or in disarray.

   The term can also be used to describe an object or an area that is disordered or in a state of disarray. For example, a disheveled bedroom may have a messy bed, scattered clothes, and a lack of organization or neatness.

   Dishevelling can occur due to various reasons, such as intense physical activity, lack of grooming or care, strong winds, or sleeping on a disarranging surface. It is often associated with a lack of attention to personal appearance or an absence of tidiness in maintaining order and cleanliness.

   To dishevel something or someone is to cause them to become untidy or messy. This can be accomplished by intentionally disrupting the arrangement or order, such as by tousling someone's hair or intentionally creating a mess in a room. Conversely, when someone fixes their disheveled appearance or restores order to a messy space, they are said to be "undishevelling" or "tidying up."

2. To spread the hair loosely, or to suffer it to hang so; to disorder the hair.

Etymology of DISHEVEL

The word "dishevel" comes from the Old French term "descheveler" which means "to disarrange the hair". It was derived from the prefix "des-" (meaning "apart" or "away") and the word "chevel" (meaning "hair"). Over time, the term evolved into "dishevel" in Middle English, maintaining its meaning of untidying or disordering the hair. In modern usage, "dishevel" is no longer limited to hair; it can also refer to the state of being untidy or unkempt in general.
