The hoof of a bull, or historically a unit of measurement based on a bull's hoof, sometimes used in folk remedies or crafts.
From 'bull' + 'hoof', a compound describing the animal part. This word appears mainly in archaic and regional contexts, particularly in folklore and traditional craftsmanship.
In medieval times, craftspeople used actual animal parts for tools and measurements—a 'bullhoof' might have been shaped into a spoon or used as a standard size reference before standardized measurements existed!
