The term alopecia (pronounced /ˌæloʊˈpiːʃə/) is formed from the Greek alópix (αλώπηξ), meaning fox. The origin of this usage is because this animal sheds its coat twice a year.
The term bald likely derives from the English word balde, which means "white, pale", or Celtic ball, which means "white patch or blaze", such as on a horse's head.[18]
