dewclaw
C1CEFR level
65/100Rarity: rare
TechnicalRegister
A vestigial digit set higher up the leg of a dog or cat that does not normally touch the ground.
The torn dewclaw was bleeding, so I explained how to keep it clean while it healed.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
