DISHEVELLING Meaning and Definition

1. Dishevelling is a verb that refers to the act of making something, usually hair or clothing, untidy, messy, or disorderly. It involves causing or experiencing a disruption or disarray in the appearance or arrangement of an object, often through uncombed, unruly, or tousled manipulation.

   When applied to hair, dishevelling commonly occurs when one runs their fingers through their locks, causing the strands to become tangled, disarranged, or unkempt. This action disrupts the initial neatness or styling of the hair, resulting in a more casual, carefree, or "bedhead" appearance. Dishevelling of hair can be deliberate for fashion purposes or a side effect of various activities and environments, such as wind, physical exercise, or sleep.

   In relation to clothing, dishevelling usually refers to the process by which garments become wrinkled, creased, or out of place. This can occur due to movement, lack of proper care, or prolonged wear. As a result, the clothing may appear disorganized, unkempt, or untidy, deviating from its original neatly pressed or arranged state.

   Overall, dishevelling represents the act of deliberately or unintentionally causing disorder or untidiness to physical objects, particularly hair or clothing. It is the antithesis of neatness, order, or a polished appearance and often conveys a relaxed, natural, or disheveled aesthetic.

Etymology of DISHEVELLING

The word "dishevelling" is the present participle form of the verb "dishevel".

The term "dishevel" originated from the Old French word "descheveler" which meant "to disarrange the hair". The Old French word itself was derived from the Latin word "dis-" which denotes negation or separation, and "capillus", meaning "hair".

Over time, the meaning of "dishevel" expanded beyond just hair and now commonly refers to the untidy or tousled appearance of hair, clothes, or anything in general. The suffix "-ing" is added to the verb "dishevel" to form the present participle "dishevelling", which indicates the ongoing action of disarranging or untidying.
