Alright, so "dishevel" is a fancy way of saying that something is messy or untidy. It's like when your room is so messy that your clothes are all over the floor, your books are scattered everywhere, and your bed isn't made. When something is disheveled, it means that it's not neat and organized. So, if someone's hair is disheveled, it means it's all over the place, not combed or styled nicely.

But "dishevel" can also be used to describe something that is in a state of disarray or disorder. For example, after a big party, the living room might be disheveled with empty cups and plates all over the place.

So, basically, when something is disheveled, it's in a messy and untidy state. It's kind of like when you've just woken up and your hair is all over the place, or when you've been so busy that your desk is covered in papers and pens. It's not very neat and tidy. So, when you hear the word "disheveled," just think of messiness and disorderliness.
