Definitions and meaning of unruly

unruly

Etymology

From Middle English unruly (unquiet, restless), equivalent to un- +‎ rule +‎ -ly (compare Middle English ruly, reuli (subject to a religious rule, regular)), but also representing a modified continuation of earlier Middle English unrouly, unroly (unquiet, restless), equivalent to un- +‎ roolie. The latter is perhaps from or influenced by Old Norse *úróligr, related to Danish urolig (restless), Swedish orolig (restless), Icelandic órólegur (agitated). Compare also Middle English unroo, unro (unrest). More at roo.
