comb
Rooster's red crown
A comb is a toothed implement for untangling and styling hair.
To use this implement is to comb.
To comb a place is to examine it very carefully, usually because you are looking for something.
One thing that slightly resembles a comb also gets the name: the fleshy growth on the heads of some birds and reptiles.
A comb that doesn’t resemble any others is the mass of hexagonal cells built by honeybees – that is, the honeycomb.
