These claws have evolved as critical features for various species, aiding in climbing, hunting, and defense. The term has retained its original meaning through the centuries, continuing to describe the physical attributes and actions associated with claws. Over time, the term has been adapted into various forms across different languages while maintaining its core definition related to the sharp, pointed appendages used by many animals.
