Etymology
The word 'frowzy' originates from the late 16th century, derived from the dialectal term 'frouzy', which is rooted in the Middle English 'frous', meaning filthy or unkempt. This may have connections to the Old Norse word 'frosk', which implies being dirty or muddy. Over time, 'frowzy' evolved to convey a sense of untidiness not just in cleanliness but also in style, particularly in reference to hair. The superlative form 'frowziest' was formed by adding the suffix '-est' to 'frowzy' to indicate the extreme degree of the quality it describes.
