draggle
There seems to be some confusion in your request. "Draggle" isn't recognized as an English word in major dictionaries. It might be a misspelling or confusion with similar words. If you meant "drabble," it refers to a short piece of writing, specifically a fiction of around one hundred words. If you meant "draggle-tail," it is an old-fashioned term for a slovenly or untidy woman. However, in some informal or dialect use, "draggle" can be used as a verb to mean making something wet or dirty by dragging it on the ground or floor. It's not a widely recognized or standard use, though. Please provide more context for a more accurate definition.
