means The fine threadlike strands that grow from follicles in the skin of mammals, most famously covering the human scalp.
from From Old English 'hǣr,' a Germanic word with siblings across the family — Old Norse 'hár,' Dutch 'haar,' German 'Haar.' The modern spelling is a bit of a mcongrel: the vowel owes something to the related Old English 'herian,' and the form was tugged around over the centuries until it settled into 'hair.' The deep roots are Germanic and clear; beyond that, the trail thins out, much like the thing itself.
