OriginLate Middle English (as a verb in the sense 'give a zigzag outline to, divide by a zigzag line'): from Anglo-Norman French endenter or medieval Latin indentare, from en-, in- 'into' + Latin dens, dent- 'tooth'. Although their meanings have in common an idea of a gap or notch, there are two completely unrelated words indent in English. One, meaning ‘to make a dent or impression in’, is formed directly from dent (Middle English) ‘a hollow made by a blow or pressure’, which is a variant form of dint. The other goes back to Latin dens ‘tooth’, the source of dental (late 16th century) and related words. Its first meaning was ‘to give a zigzag outline to’, like a set of sharp teeth. The legal term indenture (Late Middle English), ‘a legal document, contract, or agreement’, is related. Before the days of easy duplication, lawyers would write out the same contract twice on a single piece of parchment or paper. They would then separate the two sections with a serrated or wavy edge and give one to each party. If ever there was a dispute, the fact that the two edges fitted together was proof that they were the same agreement.
