Hair's way of admitting it was never that committed in the first place.
means The state of lacking hair on part or all of the scalp (or body), usually from genetics, aging, or hormones.
from From 'bald,' whose own origin is murky — Middle English 'ballede,' possibly related to a Welsh word for 'white' or 'streaked,' as in a patch of pale, hairless skin. One old folk theory ties it to 'balled,' like a smooth round ball, which is tidy but almost certainly backwards — a guess dressed up as fact. The suffix '-ness' just does its usual job, turning the condition into a noun.
