A small or lesser fang, or a fang-like projection of reduced size.
English diminutive formation combining 'fang' with the diminutive suffix '-ot' (from Old French, similar to '-et'). This word appears in historical texts describing animal anatomy, particularly in medieval bestiaries.
Medieval scholars created words like 'fangot' because they were fascinated by teeth—they believed an animal's teeth determined its character, which is why fanged creatures were always villains in their stories.
