- dentist
- dentist: [18] Dentist was borrowed from French dentiste, and at first was ridiculed as a highfalutin foreign term: ‘Dentist figures it now in our newspapers, and may do well enough for a French puffer; but we fancy Rutter is content with being called a tooth-drawer’, Edinburgh Chronicle 15 September 1759. It was a derivative of French dent ‘tooth’, which goes back via Latin dēns to an Indo-European base *dont-, *dent-, source also of English tooth. Other English descendants of Latin dēns include dental [16] and denture [19].
=> indent, tooth - dentist (n.)
- 1759, from French dentiste, from dent "tooth," from Latin dens (see tooth) + -ist.
Dentist figures it now in our newspapers, and may do well enough for a French puffer, but we fancy Rutter is content with being called a tooth-drawer ["Edinburgh Chronicle," Sept. 15, 1759].
Tooth-drawer is attested from late 14c.
