sloven
Habitually untidy one
A sloven is a person who is habitually messy, careless about cleanliness, or neglectful of personal appearance.
The word is old-fashioned and rarely encountered today, having been largely replaced by *slob*.
The related adjective *slovenly* remains more common: slovenly habits, a slovenly apartment.
