STUBBLED Meaning and
Definition
-
Stubbled is an adjective derived from the verb "stubble," which refers to the short, stiff hairs or bristles that remain on the surface of the skin after shaving, cutting or trimming facial hair. When used to describe someone's appearance or facial features, stubbled indicates that their beard or facial hair has recently been trimmed or shaved, leaving behind short, rough hairs or a slight rough texture on the skin. It typically implies a slight shadow or regrowth of facial hair that is not long enough to be classified as a full beard or mustache.
The term stubbled can also be related to agricultural practices, particularly in reference to fields or land. In this context, it refers to the remaining short stalks or stubs left in the ground after a crop has been harvested, such as wheat, corn, or hay. Stubbled fields often have a characteristic appearance, with the short, cut stubs scattered across the surface until they are ploughed under or otherwise managed.
Overall, whether describing a person or a field, stubbled connotes a rough or textured surface, either as a result of shaving or trimming facial hair or as a remnant of cut agricultural crops.

Etymology of STUBBLED
The word "stubbled" is derived from the noun "stubble". The term "stubble" dates back to Middle English and ultimately comes from the Old English word "stybb" or "stopp" which referred to a projecting part. In the context of farming, stubble specifically refers to the stumps or short lengths of grain or cereal plants left sticking out of the ground after harvesting. The addition of the suffix "-ed" to create "stubbled" denotes that something is covered, marked, or characterized by stubble. It is commonly used to describe the condition of an unshaven or partially grown facial hair.
