Brit.

/ˈdɒɡz tuːθ/, U.S.

/ˈdɔɡz ˌtuθ/,

/ˈdɑɡz ˌtuθ/

Forms:

α. 1500s dogges tooth, 1600s dogs tooth, 1700s– dog's tooth.

β. 1800s– dog tooth.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; partly modelled on Latin lexical items, and partly modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: dog n.¹, tooth n.

Etymology: In α. forms < the genitive of dog n.¹ + tooth n.; in β. forms < dog n.¹ + tooth n. In sense 1 after post-classical Latin dens canis (1552 or earlier; compare also post-classical Latin dens caninus : see quot. 1629 at sense 1); apparently so called either on account of its rootstock shaped like a dog's tooth or (perhaps) on account of the teeth on the inner segments of the perianth. In sense 2 originally after Middle French chiendent (1594 in the passage translated in quot. 1600 at sense 2); in later use after scientific Latin Cynodon, genus name (1805). Compare also dog-tooth n.

1. In full dog's tooth violet (also dog tooth violet). A plant of the North American and European genus Erythronium (family Liliaceae) of low-growing early-flowering perennial plants; esp. E. dens-canis, a European species commonly grown in gardens, with spotted leaves and purple flowers, and a rootstock which is shaped like a dog's tooth.
