Definition
Having a jagged edge with tooth-like notches, like a saw or a bread knife.
Etymology
From Latin 'serratus' (saw-toothed), from 'serra' (saw). The term became common in English in the 1600s when describing tools and later became botanical/biological terminology.
Kelly Says
A serrated knife cuts bread so much better than a smooth knife because the teeth don't compress the bread—they saw through it—which is why this ancient saw-tooth pattern is still the best design 2,000 years later.
