Etymology
The word 'unruly' comes from the Middle English 'unruwly', which is derived from the prefix 'un-', meaning 'not', combined with 'ruly', an early variant of 'rule'. The etymology can be traced back to the Middle Dutch word 'ruwlijc', meaning 'wild' or 'uncontrolled'. Initially, it described animals or individuals that could not be easily managed or subdued. Over time, the term evolved to describe the behavior of people, particularly children and teenagers, who resist authority and exhibit chaotic tendencies. The comparative form 'unrulier' follows standard English formation rules for comparative adjectives, indicating an increase in the quality of unruliness. Its usage has become more prevalent in educational and social contexts, especially in relation to discussions about behavior management and discipline.
