Hirsute

I didn't even know this word existed until I noticed it in a book about logic/pragmatics/communication:
Hirsute (etym, dict)On the other reading, (16) is false, since it attributes being not bald to the king of France, and there is no king of France around to be hirsute.
1621, from L. hirsutus "rough, shaggy," related to hirtus "shaggy," and possibly to horrere "to bristle with fear."
