Étymologie (Anglais)

From pelo (“hair”) + -ear, in the sense of close physical combat, as in the expression agarrarse de las greñas (“to fight”, literally “to grab each others' matted locks”). Compare the semantic development of Romanian părui (“to fight by pulling hair”) from Romanian păr (“hair”).
