Origin

Middle English: probably from a base meaning 'white patch', whence the archaic sense 'marked or streaked with white'. Compare with Welsh ceffyl bal, denoting a horse with a white mark on its face.

Words related to bald in other northern European languages suggest that its core meaning was ‘having a white patch or streak’. This may survive in the phrase as bald as a coot. The coot is not actually bald: it has a broad white area on its forehead extending up from the base of its bill. Descriptions of people as being as bald as a coot appear as far back as the 15th century.
