SCRAWL Meaning and Definition

1. Scrawl is a verb that refers to the act of writing or drawing clumsily, untidily, or carelessly. It is characterized by hasty, irregular, and often illegible script or artwork. When someone scrawls, their writing or drawing lacks precision, grace, or organization, resulting in an overall messy and disordered appearance.

   The term can also be used as a noun to describe the untidy or illegible writing itself, often seen in the form of scribbles or haphazardly drawn lines. Scrawls are typically created with little attention to detail or aesthetics, and they often convey a sense of haste or impatience.

   This word is commonly associated with children's handwriting, due to their lack of experience and motor control. However, it can also be used to describe the hurried or rough handwriting of individuals of any age. Scrawling can be a result of rushing, laziness, impatience, or a lack of concern for neatness.

   Scrawling is often done quickly or in a careless manner, and the resulting writing or drawing may be difficult to read or decipher. It is distinct from deliberate or skilled handwriting, which is characterized by a more methodical and legible approach. Overall, scrawl refers to messy and hastily executed writing or drawing that lacks clarity, organization, and precision.

2. • Bad or hasty writing, as if it were a scramble or irregular movements on the paper.

   • To write hastily or imperfectly; to draw or mark awkwardly.
