Etymology of TEEN WOLF
The word "Teen Wolf" is a combination of two words: "teen" and "wolf".
The term "teen" is a shortened form of the word "teenager", which emerged in the United States in the early 20th century to describe individuals between the ages of 13 and 19. It was derived from the word "teen" meaning "ten", and the suffix "-ager" meaning "pertaining to" or "characterized by".
The word "wolf" refers to a carnivorous mammal belonging to the Canidae family, known for its wild nature and hunting abilities. The term has its origins in Old English, where it was spelled as "wulf" and has remained relatively unchanged in many Germanic languages.
When combined, "Teen Wolf" refers to a teenager who transforms into a wolf-like creature, as depicted in the 1985 film of the same name.
