Etymology
The word 'toothiest' derives from the word 'toothy', which originated in the early 19th century as a combination of 'tooth' and the suffix '-y' indicating 'having the qualities of'. 'Tooth' itself comes from Old English 'toþ', which has Germanic roots. The use of the suffix '-iest' signifies a comparison, as in more toothy. As a comparative adjective, 'toothiest' implies an increased degree of toothiness, often referring to a person’s or animal’s smile. In literature and colloquial speech, the term is often employed playfully or affectionately to describe an exaggerated smile, adding a whimsical touch to character descriptions.
