No misspelling variants are generated for old woman's tooth in our index, suggesting the orthography follows predictable English patterns.It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
Etymologically, the entry records: From its shape, which has a broad base and a narrow blade projecting well beyond its base plate. Root origin matters for spelling because borrowed morphemes (Greek, Latin, Old French, Old English) carry their source-language orthographic conventions into modern English, which is why historical etymology is often the cleanest predictor of whether a cluster like "-ough", "-eau", or "-tion" will appear. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is old woman's tooth, spelled O-L-D- -W-O-M-A-N-'-S- -T-O-O-T-H, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
