the body's oldest armor, worn from birth, scarred into a personal map
means The skin of an animal, especially a large one, whether still on the beast or stripped off for leather.
from From Old English 'hyd,' the covering of the body, going back to a Proto-Germanic root that also gave German 'Haut' (skin) and is probably related to the family behind Latin 'cutis' (skin) and Greek 'kytos' (a hollow vessel) — all circling the idea of a covering or container. The English verb 'to hide' (conceal) comes from a separate but tangled root meaning 'to cover over,' so the two senses are cousins who happened to wear the same coat: both about covering, one with skin, one with secrecy.
