frowzy, also frowsy or frousy (FROU-zee) - adj., untidy, unkempt, dirty; musty, ill-smelling.


Origin unknown, first appeared in writing around 1680. While researching this, I realized this has appeared here before as a possible source of frwost, but that's different enough a word I think I'll allow it.
