Dishorn

/dɪsˈhɔːrn/ verb

Definition

To remove the horns from an animal; to deprive of horns.

Etymology

From 'dis-' (prefix meaning 'apart' or 'reversal') combined with 'horn' (from Old English 'horn'). This verb emerged in agricultural contexts to describe a common animal husbandry practice.

Kelly Says

Farmers have 'dishorned' cattle for centuries to prevent injuries and reduce aggression, yet the practice remains controversial—a single word encapsulates centuries of debate about animal welfare.
