Etymology
The word 'straggly' is derived from the verb 'straggle,' which means to move in a lazy or aimless way, likely in reference to a wayward or scattered path. The origin of 'straggle' can be traced back to the early 19th century, combining the Old English 'stracian,' meaning to stray or to wander, with a diminutive suffix. The adjective form emerged to describe things that appeared disordered or not well-kept, often conveying a sense of randomness and unevenness.
