  "etymology_text": "raffen (“to grab, grasp, snatch up”) + Zahn (“tooth”). The word, in its first sense, is an inherited word whose oldest attested form so far is Late Middle High German reffzan “incisor” that originally might have applied the probable sense “carnassial, fang; tusk”. The extension to human teeth developed probably by comparison for instance with a tusk. From 1800 onwards the word then also applied the second and third sense which semantically overlapped with the sense “snatch up” of the German verb raffen.",
