记忆方法
词源记忆法
词源不确定,可能来自古法语faulcon hagard,野鹰,被抓获的猎鹰,来自古英语haga,树篱,篱笆,围栏,词源同haw,hedge.因野鹰的天性狂野,桀骜不驯,被抓获后常绝食而亡,因此引申词义消瘦的,后用为形容人憔悴的。或来自hag,老巫婆。
谐音记忆法
可用谐音法,谐音:hag巫婆,gard-guard护卫。巫婆的护卫想来长的也不会有人模样,肯定是像鬼一样——憔悴的,消瘦的。

小知识
Someone who is haggard looks exhausted and worn out, exactly how you'd expect someone who's been lost at sea for days to look.
A haggard appearance is usually the result of a long, harrowing ordeal, like getting lost in the woods or being stranded in the woods for days. An emotional ordeal, like losing a loved one, can also give someone a haggard appearance if they forget to eat, sleep, and take care of themselves. Whatever the ordeal, it will make the person look absolutely awful — pale, gaunt, disheveled, exhausted with dark circles under their eyes and wild, unruly hair.
