Where this word comes from

polar (“polar”) + hare (“hare”), literally “polar hare”. The first element, polar, is ultimately from New Latin polaris (“polar”), from Latin polus (“pole”), from Ancient Greek πόλος (pólos, “axis, pole”), from Proto-Hellenic *pólos (“axis, pole”), from Proto-Indo-European *kʷól-os (“turning, axis”), ultimately from *kʷel- (“to turn”). The second element, hare (“hare”), is inherited from Inherited from Old Norse heri (“hare”), from Proto-Germanic *hesô (“hare”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱh₂s-én- (“hare”); the Germanic word may also have been associated with *haswaz (“grey”), compare Old Norse hǫss (“grey”).
