[Middle English, from Old English tōth.]

Word History: Eating, biting, teeth, and dentists are all related, as is well known, but the relationship goes further than one might think, that is, into the roots of the words eat, tooth, and dentist. The Proto-Indo-European root ed-, meaning "to eat" and the source of our word eat, originally meant "to bite." A participial form of ed- in this sense was dent-,"biting," which came to mean "tooth." Our word tooth comes from dont-, a form of dent-, with sound changes that resulted in the Germanic word tanthuz. This word became Old English tōth and Modern English tooth. Meanwhile the Proto-Indo-European form dent- itself became in Latin dēns (stem dent-), "tooth," from which is derived our word dentist. We find a descendant of another Proto-Indo-European form (o)dont- in the word orthodontist.
