Definition of serrated

serratedadjective

có răng cưa

/səˈreɪtɪd//səˈreɪtɪd/

The word "serrated" has its roots in Latin. It comes from the word "serrare," which means "to saw" or "to notch." This Latin verb is also the source of the English word "saw." In the 14th century, the word "serrated" entered the English language, initially referring to a saw that had been serrated, or notched, to help it cut more effectively. Over time, the meaning of "serrated" expanded to describe any edge or surface that is cut or notched in a similar way, such as a toothed saw or a knife with a notched blade. Today, the word is often used to describe a variety of surfaces, including hills or mountains with sharp peaks and valleys, as well as sharp-edged tools or implements. In each of these contexts, "serrated" conveys a sense of jaggedness or sharpness, emphasizing the rough and irregular texture of the surface or edge being described.
