Read the word off its parts: bear plus -ish, having something of a bear about it. The plain picture is the animal - big, heavy, gruff. The money senses use the same ending on a different bear, the one that stands for 'down' on the trading floor, and our evidence does not record how that bear got there, so treat the link as a way to remember the direction rather than a claim about where the word came from.
bearish 可以拆開來看:bear(熊)加 -ish(有點像…的)。最直白的畫面就是一隻熊:塊頭大、動作重、講話粗。-ish 這個字尾很常見,像 childish、reddish,意思都是「帶點那個味道」。財經新聞裡的 bear 則是市場上那隻代表「往下」的熊。我們手上的資料沒有說明動物怎麼變成看跌的記號,所以那條線只能當成方便記憶的畫面,不算字源。

資料記載的組成是 bear + -ish,說明的只是形容詞怎麼造出來,並沒有交代股市用法的來源。
