The word "bair" in this spelling has no actual definition. A definition of the word would logically have to be associated with the word itself.

It is mainly just the way the spelling happens to evolve.
For example, hair comes from germanic "haar." Bare comes from Dutch "baar." However, they ended up being spelled differently. Words can come to their present spellings through numerous languages.
