Noun
  1. 1
    A small scraggly bit.

With a scraggle of beard pasted on her face, a battered fedora on her head, and a swarm of contempt on her lips, Mattes — who has appeared in five Fassbinder films — could almost pass for the real thing."

Verb
  1. 1
    To make scraggly; to make rough, scruffy, or unkempt; to tousle. transitive
