STUBBLES Meaning and
Definition
-
Stubbles, also spelled as stubble, refers to the short, stiff hairs or bristles that remain on the skin after shaving, cutting, or trimming facial or body hair. It is the result of the regrowth of hair that occurs after it has been cut or shaved.
Typically, stubbles are most noticeable on the face, particularly in men who have shaved recently. When a man shaves, the hair is cut at the skin level, leaving behind a small portion of the hair shaft that begins to grow back almost immediately. These partially grown hair shafts become visible on the skin's surface, creating a rough, prickly texture known as stubble.
The length and appearance of stubbles can vary depending on the individual's hair growth rate and the texture of their hair. Some individuals may have thicker and faster-growing hair, resulting in a more prominent stubble after shaving.
Stubbles are often associated with a rugged, masculine look and are intentionally maintained by some men to achieve a specific aesthetic. They can also be fashionable and provide a more casual or laid-back appearance. Additionally, a five o'clock shadow is a specific type of stubble that becomes visible around late afternoon, particularly if an individual has shaved in the morning.
Overall, stubbles are a natural occurrence that arises from the regrowth of hair after shaving or cutting, often noted for the textural, bristly sensation it produces on the skin's surface.

Etymology of STUBBLES
The word "stubbles" is derived from the Middle English word "stobel" or "stuble", which ultimately comes from the Old English word "stubb", meaning "stump". It originally referred to the part of a plant left after it has been cut or harvested, particularly the lower portion of a stalk or stem that remains in the ground. Over time, it came to be used specifically for the short, stiff, and pointed stalks or remnants of crop plants (such as wheat, barley, or corn) that are left sticking out of the ground after harvesting. The plural form "stubbles" emerged to describe multiple instances of these stubs or remnants.
