draggled

Wet and dirty

Draggled means wet, dirty, and limp from being dragged through mud or water.

The word typically describes clothing, hair, or feathers that have become bedraggled: her draggled skirts trailed behind her, the bird's draggled plumage.

It's the past participle of draggle, meaning to make wet and dirty by trailing along the ground, though draggled sees more use than the verb itself.
