cuspid

/ˈkʌspɪd/ noun B2

a pointed tooth

Word Origin Cuspid is another word for a canine tooth, a pointed tooth. From Latin 'cuspis' (point) + -id (having the nature of). So cuspid is literally 'pointed one.' The same root gives us cusp (a point, like the cusp of a tooth or a curve), cuspidate (having a point), bicuspid (two-pointed tooth). So cuspid is a 'point-tooth.'
