BEARD
What beard means
Facial hair that grows on the chin and lower face of a person, typically a man, often allowed to grow long and thick rather than being shaved.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *beard*, related to Old High German *bart* and Old Norse *barðr*. These Germanic words trace back to Proto-Germanic *bardaz*, possibly connected to an Indo-European root meaning "to cut" or "to scrape," since beards were often trimmed or shaved. The word has remained relatively unchanged across Germanic languages for over a thousand years.
