HIND, the female of the red-deer, usually taken as being three years old and over, the male being known as a "hart." It is sometimes applied to the female of other deer.
In Scotland the "hind" is a farm servant, with a cottage on the farm, and duties and responsibilities that make him superior to the rest of the labourers. Similarly "hind" is used in certain parts of northern England as equivalent to "bailiff."
