Alopecia

ALOPECIA

Noun. Late Middle English. 
[Latin from Greek alopekia lit. 'fox-mange' from alopek-, alopex fox]  

MEDICINE. Hair loss, baldness. 

Now there's a word with a cruel etymology; as if going bald wasn't demeaning enough.

      Your Dad sounds like a rather wily old fox. There's no way I'd be able to sneak up on him.
