From Middle Dutch haer, from Old Dutch hiro, from Proto-Germanic *hezǫ̂.

Usage notes

Haar (“their”) was the normal Middle Dutch form for all genders in the plural. In modern Dutch, hun successively replaced haar in this function. Some writers of the 19th and early 20th century made a learned distinction, using hun as the masculine and neuter plural, but haar for the feminine in both singular and plural: mannen en hunne vrouwen (“men and their wives”) versus vrouwen en hare mannen (“women and their husbands”).

Synonyms

(their): hun

Etymology 4

Noun

haar n, c (plural haren, diminutive haartje n)

(uncountable) hair (collection of hairs)
(countable) hair (mammalian keratin filament)

Usage notes

The noun is traditionally neuter in all senses. As a countable noun, it is now sometimes of common gender.
