calvous \KAL-vuhs\ adjective 1. lacking all or most of the hair on the head; bald. Quotes Admittedly most old, bloated, calvous Germans could double for me, and even if he hadn't been doppelganger material, with the beard I had started growing and the two black eyes, you'd need x-rays to spot the difference. -- Tibor Fischer, The Thought Gang, 1994 Origin Calvous is derived from the New Latin word calvus meaning “bald.”
