Definition mammoth

Etymology

From obsolete Russian ?????? (mamant), modern ?????? (mamont), probably from a Uralic language, such as Proto-Mansi *m???-o?t (*m???-o?t, “earth-horn”). Compare Northern Mansi ??? (m?, “earth”), ????? (?n?t, “horn”). Adjectival use was popularized in the early 1800s by references to the Cheshire Mammoth Cheese presented to American paleontologist and president Thomas Jefferson.
