The word "scraggly" is believed to have originated from the Old Norse word "skraggr," which means "thin" or "bony." It is likely that the word was first used to describe people with a gaunt or unkempt appearance. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include anything that was unkempt or neglected, such as hair, vegetation, or clothing.
