Etymology of SHARPPOINTED

There is no word "sharppointed" in the English language. It seems to be a combination of "sharp" and "pointed", both of which have distinct etymologies:

- "Sharp" comes from the Old English word "scearp" which meant "cutting" or "piercing". It can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "*skarpaz". The word "sharp" has remained relatively unchanged in its meaning over time.

- "Pointed" comes from the Middle English word "pointen" which meant "to sharpen". It originated from the Old French word "point" which also meant "sharp" or "pointed". This Old French word ultimately derives from the Latin "punctum", meaning "a prick" or "a point".
