haggard
含义: Looking exhausted, gaunt, and worn, typically as a result of prolonged suffering, worry, or lack of sleep.
Haggard specifically implies that someone's appearance has deteriorated due to strain or hardship — it describes a visible change from a healthier state. It is most commonly applied to faces and expressions. Unlike 'gaunt,' which focuses on thinness, haggard emphasises tiredness and emotional wear. It frequently appears in news reporting about people under extreme pressure.
