From: Body Toxic, An Environmental Memoir By SUSANNE ANTONETTA

In the twenties slappedup buildings held balls and the Astors came, in fox fur (those rich enough to wear eternity around their necks, uroboros, head eating tail) and their own beautiful rich skin.

the meaning of uroboros, is somewhat evident from the passage– I remember my mother had a fox stole of the same style – but from where the word?

Uro- I found was a greek root for "tail" but I could find a listing for the word, or the boros part.
