Etymology

The word 'incisor' originated from the Latin word 'incisus', which means 'cut into'. In ancient times, these teeth were associated with cutting or incising food. The concept of incisors has been present in human anatomy for centuries, with their importance in chewing and biting food. Over time, the term has also been adopted in zoology to refer to similar teeth in animals that use them for cutting or gnawing.
