Origin of the word untidiness

"Untidiness" is a combination of the prefix "un-" meaning "not" and the noun "tidiness." "Tidiness" itself comes from the Old English word "tīd," which meant "time" or "season." Over time, "tīd" evolved into "tide," which then became associated with "tidiness" as a way to describe things being in their "proper" or "timely" order. So, "untidiness" essentially means "not being in a timely or proper order," implying a state of disorder or disarray.
