Okay then,

So, the original word for “bear” is lost in time. Whatever it was was lost because people at the time didn’t want to invoke its presence. So the word bear, basically means: “the brown one” and whatever it was originally called is lost.

It was believed that infants felt little to no pain and thus did not receive anesthesia into the 1980's. They did a study to decide whether they thought infants felt pain that included pinpricks and electric shocks.
