There are two words spelled "beaver" The second has a different etymology:
5ME bavier < OFr baviere, beaver of a helmet, orig., bib < baver, to drivel < bave, saliva, foam6
1 a movable piece of armor on the lower part of a medieval helmet, for protecting the mouth and chin
Note that the baby's "bib" comes from same root.
