Etymology

The word 'antler' originates from the Old French term 'antler', which itself is derived from the Latin word 'ante', meaning 'before'. This etymological path references the distinctive growth of antlers that precedes the mating season in certain mammals, particularly in the Cervidae family. The shape and complexity of antlers have fascinated humans for centuries, leading to their symbolic representation in various cultures as symbols of strength and fertility. The term 'antlered' thus came to denote animals that have these characteristic features, further emphasizing their role in reproductive displays and competition for resources in the wild. This linguistic evolution reflects both the biological significance of antlers in natural selection and human interest in wildlife.
