Etymology
Skinhead comes from British youth groups in the 1960s and is simply skin + head because members often wore their hair very short or 'shaved'. So skinhead now means a person from that youth group or style, known for a shaved head and a particular dress or set of social or political views, though not all skinheads share the same beliefs.
