Etymology

The word 'toothed' originates from the Old English word 'toรฐ,' which means 'tooth.' The suffix 'ed' is added to form the past participle, indicating a state or condition of having teeth. In Middle English, the term evolved while maintaining its fundamental meaning. Over time, the word has been used in various contexts, especially in descriptions of tools, animals, and machinery that exhibit a jagged or serrated design. The evolution of language has preserved the core meaning while allowing it to adopt broader applications, such as 'toothed wheel' or 'toothed edge' in mechanical engineering.
