glabrous
adj.
smooth, hairless (Botany and Zoology)
Glabrousness
Glabrousness (from Latin glaber = bald, hairless) is the technical term for an anatomically abnormal lack of
hair or
down. This may be due to a physical condition, such as
alopecia universalis, which causes hair to fall out and/or prevents its growth. More commonly, glabrousness is a result of culturally-motivated hair removal by depilation (surface removal by shaving or
dissolving) or epilation (removal of the entire hair, such as
waxing or plucking).
