The word "ivory" originates from the Latin word "ebur," which means "ivory" or "elephant tusk." This Latin term is derived from the Greek word "elephas," meaning "elephant." The term has been used historically to refer to the hard, white material made from the tusks of elephants and other animals, prized for its beauty and durability. Over time, it has come to describe both the material itself and items crafted from it.
