©L.L. Bean, Inc.'That word' (below-hyperlinked to the opportunity to buy a pair of shoes like mine) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “|Leather|” is built on ancient words that mean "Leather (the |Tanned, Hairless |Skin or -Hide of an |Animal)" (also homosexual-slang for "SadoMasochistic").
