haar

== English == === 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”). === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /hɑː(ɹ)/ (General American) IPA(key): /hɑɹ/ Rhymes: -ɑː(ɹ) === Noun === haar (countable and uncountable, plural haars) (especially Northern England, Scotland) Thick, cold, wet fog along the northeastern coast of Northern England and Scotland.
