a single pubic hair · pubic hair, hairgrowth in the pubic region
çekim: çoğul schaamharen
köken: From schamen (“to (be a)shame(d)”) + haar (“hair”), calque of German Schamhaar, though note that the first element in the German word is a noun. The oldest citations in Dutch use the plural form.
köken: First attested in the Gugeupbang eonhae (救急方諺解 / 구급방언해), 1466, as Middle Korean 거웆〮 (Yale: kèwúc). Originally mostly referred to facial hair as in the now-obsolete 입거웃 (ipgeout, “facial hair”), but this sense has been completely displaced by Sino-Korean 수염 (鬚髥, suyeom, “facial hair”).
