Usage notes[edit]

  • The variant with tooth and nail is attested as early as the 16th century; see for example Arthur Golding, The Psalmes of David and others. With M. John Calvins Commentaries, 1571, “Epistle Dedicatorie”:[2]
    [They] labour with tooth and nayle too winde their owne trash into credit with all men, and to bring the heavenly doctrine of the Gospel in hatred.
  • The variant tooth and claw sometimes appears (though not as an adverb) as the fuller phrase nature, red in tooth and claw, which quotes 1850, Alfred Tennyson, In Memoriam A. H. H. —
    Who trusted God was love indeed
    And love Creation’s final law?
    Tho’ Nature, red in tooth and claw
    With ravine, shriek’d against his creed?
