"haar" meaning in English

See haar in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /hɑː(ɹ)/ [Received-Pronunciation], /hɑɹ/ [General-American] Audio: en-us-haar.ogg [US] Forms: haars [plural]
Rhymes: -ɑː(ɹ) Etymology: Attested since the late 17th century, alongside Scots haar (“cold easterly wind; misty wind; cold fog or mist”). Perhaps ultimately from Middle Dutch hare (“cold wind”) or a related Low German word; compare Dutch harig (“windy; foggy, misty”), Saterland Frisian harig (“misty”). Alternatively, perhaps simply a northern English or Scottish variant of hoar, or a borrowing of Old Norse hárr (“hoary”).
