What does pelt mean?
A pelt is the skin of an animal, especially a mammal, with the hair or fur still attached. To pelt someone or something means to hit or attack them repeatedly, often with a missile or projectile.
Example
"The hunter carefully removed the pelt from the deer's body, taking care not to damage the delicate skin."
