Word origin
The term 'serrated' originates from the Latin word 'serratus', which means 'saw-like'. This Latin root is derived from 'serra', meaning 'saw'. The usage of serrated edges can be traced back to ancient tools where a jagged edge was more effective for cutting. The concept has evolved through time as various blades and tools have been designed to improve efficiency and effectiveness in cutting through different materials. The serrated design is especially popular in culinary applications, where it enhances the slicing capability of knives meant for bread and other tough foods.
