and hair
Hair, generally referring to the collective hair on the head or body of humans or animals; by extension, can denote a single hair or hairiness, particularly as a physical trait. In specific contexts, also used metaphorically for something fine or bristly (e.g., the 'hair' of a goat or roughness of a garment). The term encompasses both the natural state of hair and, by extension, the attribute of hairiness or roughness as a distinguishing physical characteristic.
