Draggly

/ˈdræɡli/ adjective

Definition

Inclined to draggle; trailing, draggled, or somewhat muddy and untidy in appearance.

Etymology

From 'draggle' with the adjectival suffix '-y,' forming an adjective meaning 'resembling or inclined to draggle.' This more colloquial form is less formal than 'draggletailed.'

Kelly Says

The '-y' suffix (like 'muddy,' 'soggy,' 'groggy') turns nouns and verbs into casual, descriptive adjectives—'draggly' feels more modern and less insulting than the harsher 'draggletailed.'
