Did You Know?

Disheveled comes from Middle English discheveled, meaning "bareheaded" or "with disordered hair." That word is partially based on Anglo-French deschevelé, a combination of the prefix des- ("dis-") and chevoil ("hair"). In English, disheveled describes things other than hair that have a messy or untidy appearance.

Disheveled 来自中古英语 discheveled，意思是“bareheaded「光头的」”或“with disordered hair「头发凌乱的」”。 这个词一部分源于盎格鲁法语 deschevelé，前缀des-（“dis-”）与 chevoil（“hair「头发」”）的组合。 在英语中，disheveled 指除头发外的外表凌乱的或外貌不整洁的。
