danten.

Forms: Also 1500s dant, 1700s–1800s danta.

Etymology: Compare Italian dante , ‘a kind of great wilde beast in Affrike hauing a very hard skin’ (Florio 1598): see ante n.¹ In the second sense apparently a transferred use of the same word by the Spanish settlers in South America.

†1. (Also dant.) Some African quadruped: the same as ante n.¹. Obsolete.
