tartar
Condiment with capers
Tartar has two main meanings.
One is the hard deposit that forms on teeth from plaque—what dentists scrape off during cleanings.
The other is a fierce or formidable person: She's a real tartar when crossed.
This sense comes from the Tartars, Central Asian warriors known for their ferocity.
Cream of tartar, used in baking, is an unrelated substance—a byproduct of winemaking.
