hind
Mature doe, specifically
Hind has two distinct meanings in English.
As an adjective, hind means rear or back: hind legs, hind quarters.
The word appears almost exclusively in reference to four-legged animals.
Separately, a hind is a female deer, especially a red deer—the counterpart to a hart or stag.
