Etymology
The word 'tooth' originates from the Old English 'tลรพ', which has Germanic roots and can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic '*tanรพs'. The suffix '-ier' is a common English comparative suffix used to denote a greater degree of a quality. Therefore, 'toothier' literally means 'having more teeth', which emphasizes the comparative form of the word 'tooth'. This structure has been used in various contexts throughout the evolution of the English language, particularly in describing animals and their features. In modern usage, 'toothier' can also metaphorically apply to other contexts, such as referring to aggressive or sharp characteristics of personality or design.
