Located at the back or rear of something, especially an animal or vehicle; opposite of front.
From Old English 'hind' and Old Norse 'hind,' both meaning 'back' or 'rear.' It's related to 'behind,' which combines 'be' (by) and 'hind' (back).
Many animals have evolved hind legs that are stronger than their front legs for jumping or running—kangaroos, rabbits, and frogs all have this adaptation, showing nature's clever engineering for different ways of moving!
