🗣️ Urdu Proverb

ہاتھی کے دانت کھانے کے اور، دکھانے کے اور

📖 Etymology

Origin: Old Norse / Middle English "tusk (from Old Norse 'túskr' or Old English 'tusc')" — a long, pointed tooth projecting from the mouth of certain animals

First known use: 14th century

The word 'tusk' derives from Old English 'tusc' and Old Norse 'túskr', both meaning a prominent projecting tooth. The adjectival form 'tusked' was formed by adding the suffix '-ed' to denote the quality of having tusks, appearing in English texts from the medieval period onward to describe animals such as elephants, walruses, and wild boars.
