unbathed

Needing a shower

Unbathed means not having bathed—unwashed or unclean.

The word usually describes a person who hasn't washed recently: The unbathed homeless man sat on the bench.

It can suggest deliberate neglect or simply elapsed time since the last bath: After three days of camping, we returned home unbathed and exhausted.
