Word origin
The word 'uncombed' originates from the combination of the prefix 'un-' (meaning 'not') and the past participle of the verb 'comb'. The concept of uncombed hair or an uncombed appearance has been associated with a casual or unkempt style, often seen as a contrast to well-groomed or neat looks.
