Origin

Early 18th century: from Russian mamo(n)t, probably of Siberian origin.

In Siberia people used to dig up fossil remains and frozen carcasses of a large elephant-like hairy mammal with long curved tusks. They called this in Russian the mamont, which probably came from a Siberian word meaning ‘earth horn’. In the early 18th century English acquired this as mammoth. The word began to refer to anything of a huge size in the early 19th century. See also colossal
