Meaning & usage
wisdom tooth
Where this word comes from
From verstand (“intellect, wit, brain”) + -s- + kies (“molar”), a loose calque of Latin dēns sapientiae, itself a calque of Ancient Greek σωφρονιστῆρες (sōphronistêres). A somewhat common folk etymology holds that it derives from ver (“far, distant”) + stand (“position”) + -s- + kies (“molar”), but this is incorrect; early attestations frequently cite the Latin or mention either its derivation from verstand or its synonym wijsheidstand; furthermore the suggestion is in disagreement with the pronunciation.
