† bull-bearn.

Etymology: Apparently < bull n.¹ + bear n.¹; but, to account for the sense, it has been conjectured that the first element may be boll n.³, or bogle n. Compare bugbear n. (of which also it is not impossible that this is a corruption); also Dutch bulle-man ‘larva, spectrum’, bulle-back ‘lemures’ (Kilian 1642). See bull-beggar n.

Obsolete.

A spectre, bogy; a scare-crow; a bugbear, or object of groundless terror.
