Origin Mid 16th century (used in falconry): from French hagard; perhaps related to hedge; later influenced by hag1. A word from falconry, where it is a technical term for an adult hawk caught for training. Unlike hawks bred or raised in captivity, haggards are wild and untamed. Wild-looking people, or their wild-looking eyes, began to be described as haggard in the 17th century, and from there the word developed the sense ‘looking exhausted or unwell’. The word may be related to hedge. See also hawk
