Haggard

This word, which most people know to means “wild or wild-looking,” is actually derived from falconer terminology and means a trained falcon that, for one reason or another, has regained its “spirit” and returned to the wild. I think once understanding this etymology, this word takes on an even cooler meaning when describing a person.
