The word "stubbly" first appeared in the English language in the late 14th century. It was initially used to describe the appearance of a beard or facial hair that had been trimmed or shaved close to the skin, leaving behind short, coarse hairs.
Over time, the meaning of "stubbly" expanded to include the description of any surface or area that has a rough or bristly texture, such as the fur of an animal or the texture of a fabric.
