Etymology

The term 'frowzier' originates from the English term 'frowzy,' which itself can be traced back to the late Middle English word 'frousy.' It is believed to have derived from the Old English 'frawen' meaning to be dirty or unkempt. The evolution of the word shows a consistent use of the concept of untidiness across different forms of the word. Used initially in relation to appearance, the term has expanded its application to encompass various objects, places, or states characterized by a lack of orderliness. The use of 'frowzier' as a comparative form suggests a gradual transition into more modern contexts, including informal speech and writing, reflecting a tendency to describe chaotic or neglected states in a more vivid manner.
