Etymology

Attested since the late 17th century,[1][2] alongside Scots haar (“cold easterly wind; misty wind; cold fog or mist”).[3] Perhaps from Middle Dutch hare (“cold wind”) or a related Low German word; compare Dutch harig (“windy; foggy, misty”), Saterland Frisian harig (“misty”).[3][4] Alternatively, perhaps simply a northern English or Scottish variant of hoar,[2] or a borrowing of Old Norse hárr (“hoary”).[1]

haar (dependent possessive, independent possessive hare)

Usage notes
  • Haar (“their”) was the normal Middle Dutch form for all genders in the plural. In modern Dutch, hun successively replaced haar in this function. Some writers of the 19th and early 20th century made a learned distinction, using hun as the masculine and neuter plural, but haar for the feminine in both singular and plural: mannen en hunne vrouwen (“men and their wives”) versus vrouwen en hare mannen (“women and their husbands”).
