Widow's peak

Origin of Phrases - W

 

Widow's peak

Meaning: A V shaped hairline.

 

Example: When I was a young man my hairline formed a widow's peak, now it is more like a divorcee's horseshoe.

 

Origin: The hair of a person laying on their back in an open coffin would tend to fall back over the head, thereby exposing the hairline and making evident the peak.
