Having a series of small tooth-like projections or notches along an edge, like the edge of a postage stamp.
From French 'dentelé' (toothed), derived from Latin 'dens' (tooth) plus the suffix '-ate.' The word evolved to describe the appearance of something with repeated small indentations resembling teeth.
This word describes something you see every day on postage stamps and perforated paper—the tiny notches aren't random but were designed to make tearing easier while creating a decorative pattern that doubles as a security feature!
