The realm, domain, or state of being a bear; bears as a collective group or the characteristics associated with bears.
From Old English 'bera' (bear) with the suffix '-dom' (kingdom, realm, or state), similar to 'Christendom' or 'kingdom'.
The '-dom' suffix creates grand, almost epic nouns—'beardom' makes bears sound like they rule their own sovereign nation with laws and culture!
