The hide or pelt of a wild boar, traditionally used to make armor, clothing, or other durable materials.
Boar + skin. A straightforward compound referring to the literal hide of a boar animal, used historically in medieval times for protective garments and accessories.
Medieval warriors would use boarskin for armor because it was incredibly tough and thick—it could repel sword strikes and arrows! Many European military uniforms still have boarskin elements, like the bearskins you see on British royal guards.
