Meaning
noun any mammal with prominent tusks (especially an elephant or wild boar)
originFrom Old Norse torfskeri, from torf (“turf”) + skera (“to cut”), whence also Scottish Gaelic tairsgeir, toirsgeir, treidhsgeir and later forms like toirsgian (assimilated to sgian (“knife”)). Known in print from the early 19th century, but doubtless much older.
