Haggard

Notable author's surname

Haggard describes a worn, exhausted appearance—gaunt features, sunken eyes, the look of someone drained by worry, illness, or lack of sleep.

She looked haggard after three nights without rest.

The word suggests visible deterioration, as though hardship has carved itself into the face.
