frowzy
Stuffy and slovenly
Frowzy describes something stale, stuffy, or musty—especially a room with bad air from being closed up too long: The frowzy attic smelled of mothballs and old newspapers.
It also applies to people who look unkempt or slovenly, suggesting unwashed clothes and disheveled hair.
Also spelled frowsy.
