Etymology
The term 'widemouthed' is a compound word derived from 'wide' and 'mouthed'. The word 'wide' has its roots in Old English 'wīd', which means 'broad' or 'spacious'. It relates to dimensions and extent. 'Mouthed' comes from the Old English 'mūð', meaning 'mouth', which denotes the opening of the face. The coupling of these two words is common in the English language, where adjectives combine to create specific descriptions. The usage of 'widemouthed' can be traced back to descriptions of various objects, particularly those that are designed to accommodate more than a standard amount, reflecting its contemporary application in both literal and figurative language.
