Describing hair — or a whole person — that looks , as if it has been rubbed, slept on, or blown about. What makes it worth learning is that it is nearly always a kind word, or even an one. Messy hair sounds like a problem; tousled hair sounds attractive, natural, a bit sleepy, the look of someone who just got out of bed or came in off a beach. Fashion and film writing lean on it constantly: tousled beach , his tousled hair and crumpled shirt, a tousled boy. You can stretch it past hair to the person or their look — he arrived tousled and late — and it keeps that same forgiving, slightly romantic tone. Two , "TOW-zuld". Like the verb behind it, it belongs more to writing than to chat.
(頭髮)蓬亂的、亂中帶帥的(不是難看的亂,是剛睡醒那種好看的亂)
組成The past participle of the verb tousle, 'to make hair untidy', used as an adjective — the same -ed that gives us tired, crowded and worried.
