Untanned, undefeated leather that bites back as your dog chews it.
means Rawhide is animal hide that has been cleaned and dried but not tanned, leaving it stiff and tough — used for things like dog chews, drum heads, lashings, and whips.
from A plain compound of "raw" and "hide," both old Germanic-rooted English words: "raw" goes back to Old English hrēaw (uncooked, untreated), and "hide" to hȳd (an animal's skin). Put together, the name says exactly what it is — skin left in its raw, untanned state — and English has used the term for centuries.
