frouzy
Stuffy and unkempt
Frouzy describes something stale, stuffy, or musty—especially air in an unventilated room or clothes left too long in a damp closet.
The word can also suggest general shabbiness or unkemptness: a frouzy old boarding house.
Also spelled frowzy or frowsty.
The word is somewhat old-fashioned and more common in British than American usage.
