dishevelment
Condition of untidiness
Dishevelment is the state of being disheveled—untidy, unkempt, disordered in appearance.
It usually describes hair or clothing that has become messy: Her dishevelment after the long flight was evident.
The word can extend to rooms or spaces in disarray.
It carries a slightly formal or literary tone; in casual speech, people more often say someone looks a mess.
