'fangless' originates from the Old English word 'fang,' which meant 'grip' or 'capture,' combined with the suffix '-less,' indicating absence.

'fang' changed from the Old English word 'fang' to the modern English word 'fang,' and eventually 'fangless' was formed by adding the suffix '-less.'

Initially, 'fang' meant 'grip' or 'capture,' but over time it evolved to refer to sharp teeth, and 'fangless' came to mean 'without sharp teeth.'
