If someone looks dishevelled, their hair, clothes, or whole appearance is very — as if they just got out of bed, ran through wind, or stopped fussing for a moment. The mess is about things being out of place, not necessarily dirty. A clean person can still look dishevelled. British spelling likes two l's (dishevelled); American writing usually uses one (disheveled). It is a little more than messy or , though newspapers use it all the time for people off planes. Though actually, the oldest picture inside the word is hair: it comes from French for with the hair undone. English later stretched it to shirts, coats, and a whole look. Teenagers more often say messy; this word still sounds a bit like a grown-up noticing.
衣冠不整的;頭髮蓬亂的(凌亂,不一定是髒)
組成From earlier dishevely, from Old French deschevelé: des- (apart, the same idea as dis-) + chevel (hair). So the first picture is hair that has been undone. English later used it for clothes and a whole appearance too.
