“Je n’en avais pas moins l’impression bizarre que c’était sa toison intime que Thérèse exhibait aussi ostensiblement aux yeux du promeneur !” — Nonetheless, I had a strange feeling that it was her pubic hair Theresa was displaying so publicly to the eyes of the passers-by!

Inherited from Late Latin tōnsiōnem, from Latin tondeō (“shave, cut hair”).
