teddy bearn.

/ˈtɛdɪˌbɛː/

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Teddy , bear n.¹

Etymology: < Teddy, pet form of the male forename Theodore (see note and compare teddy n.) + bear n.¹The ‘teddy bear’ came into vogue about 1907, and was so called in humorous allusion to Theodore Roosevelt (President of the United States 1901–9). Theodore Roosevelt's bear-hunting expeditions gave rise to a celebrated comic poem, accompanied by cartoons, in the N.Y. Times of 7 Jan. 1906, concerning the adventures of two bears named ‘Teddy B’ and ‘Teddy G’; these names were transferred to two bears (also known as the ‘Roosevelt bears’) presented to Bronx Zoo in the same year; finally the fame of these bears was turned to advantage by toy dealers, whose toy ‘Roosevelt bears’, imported from Germany, became an instant fashion in the United States.

a. A stuffed figure of a bear, made of rough plush, used as a toy or as a kind of mascot. teddy bears' picnic n. the title of a song (c1932) by Jimmy Kennedy and J. W. Bratton, used allusively to denote an occasion of innocent enjoyment.
