The answer
HAIRY
What hairy means
Covered with hair or having a lot of hair; also used informally to describe something risky, difficult, or frightening.
Where the word comes from
From Old English "hǽrig," meaning having hair or covered with hair. This comes from the noun "hǽr" (hair), which traces back to Proto-Germanic "*hēraz." The same root produced similar words in other Germanic languages, and ultimately may connect to an Indo-European root meaning to grasp or bristle, though the connection is uncertain.
