Definition
Not neat or orderly in appearance or arrangement. Lacking organization or cleanliness.
Etymology
Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'tidy,' which comes from Middle English 'tidi' meaning 'timely, seasonable.' The word 'tidy' originally meant 'in good time' before shifting to mean 'in good order.'
Kelly Says
The word 'tidy' originally had nothing to do with cleanliness but rather with timing - something done at the right time was 'tidy.' This temporal meaning gradually shifted to spatial organization, showing how our concepts of order evolved from time-based to space-based thinking.
