Origin:
The term "premolar" was first used in the 18th century by the French anatomist Pierre Fauchard. It is derived from the Latin word "praemolō," which means "to grind in front." This refers to the function of premolars, which is to break down food into smaller pieces before it is further ground by the molars.
Premolars are also sometimes called "bicuspids" because they have two cusps, or points, on their grinding surfaces. The term "bicuspid" is derived from the Latin words "bi" (two) and "cuspis" (point).
