Where it comes from

Borrowed from Russian уша́нка (ušánka), from у́ши (úši) (the accusative or nominative plural of у́хо (úxo, “ear”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ṓws (“ear”), from *h₂ew- (“to see; to be aware of, perceive”) with a shift of meaning) + -а́нка (-ánka) (variant of -я́нка (-jánka, suffix forming names of specific objects)).

noun ushankas

A traditional Russian fur cap with earflaps. I have no idea why he's wearing a ushanka in triple digit heat; bro's forehead must be drenched in sweat.
