Etymology: "Serrati" is the plural of "serratus", a Latin adjective meaning "sawed" or "notched like a saw," built on "serra," the Latin word for saw. English took the form directly from Latin, so the word carries its saw-blade image intact. In use, it describes things such as leaves, shells, or bones whose edges are notched in a row of small teeth, the same pattern you would find along a handsaw.

Synonyms: serra, serrated leaves, serrated edges
