The skin or fur of a bear; a bearskin used for clothing, rugs, or decoration.
From bear combined with hide (Old English 'hyd', meaning 'skin'). Bearhides have been prized throughout history for warmth and prestige in cold climates.
British royal guards wear bearskins on their uniforms—these hats, made from Canadian bear fur, became iconic in the 1800s and now millions of tourists photograph them!
