### **Pronunciaton:**
(DOO-klaw, DYOO-)
### **Meaning:**
noun: A small claw not reaching the ground, on the foot of some animals.
### **Etymology:**
Origin uncertain, perhaps from the fact that other claws touch the ground, but a dewclaw only brushes the dew on the grass. A related term is dewlap, a loose fold of skin hanging under the neck of an animal such as a cow.
