1. 1鋸齒狀的;凹凸不平的;參差的

    Something jagged does not have a smooth line. The edge or surface sticks out in rough points, like broken glass, a torn piece of metal, or a mountain ridge that looks bitten. You use it for things you can see and touch, and a little more loosely for a line that jumps up and down, or for a harsh, uneven shape. It feels a bit sharp and as a picture; we do not call a flower jagged unless something has ripped it. The opposite feeling is smooth, rounded, even. Though actually, people sometimes stretch it to a voice or a day that feels broken into hard pieces, but the home of the word is still a rough physical edge.

組成jag (a sharp point) + -ed: having those points.
