Wet, muddy, or untidy from being dragged through dirt or water; looking shabby and worn.
From the verb 'draggle,' which comes from Middle English and combines 'drag' with the frequentist suffix '-le,' meaning to trail or drag repeatedly. The '-ed' ending makes it an adjective describing the state of being draggled.
This word perfectly captures the look of clothes after a muddy adventure—it's why 'draggle-tail' became a historical insult for slovenly women. Language often preserves old judgments about appearance and gender in unexpected places.
