Where it comes from
From goat + -ee (diminutive suffix), referring to the tuft of hair on the chin of many domestic goats.
noun goatees
- A beard trimmed to grow only at the center of the chin. One person sports a goatee, the hair refusing to grow on the sides of his physiognomy; the chin of another is as smooth as a baby's cheek,—he contents himself with a modest moustache and a faint attempt at an imperial; while a few of the upper classes rejoice in all the varieties.
