† ˈchesboll Obs.
Forms: 5 chesbowlle, chesebolle, chessebolle, 5–6 chesboll(e, 6 chesboull, cheseboule, Sc. chasbolle, 6–7 chesboule, cheesebowl(e, Sc. chesbow, 7 chessboll, cheesbowl, cheeseboul, Sc. chasbow.
[Cited in Promp. Parv. and by a number of authors as cheese-bowl, supposed to have some reference to the form of the seed-vessel. Phonetically there is no objection to this, as cheese, ME. chese, in composition has become ches- as in chesford, cheslip or cheeselip, and bolle is the ME. form of bowl; but the reason for the name is not obvious. The word is to some extent mixed with chibolle, chibol, chesbolle being given in various 15th c. Vocabularies as ‘onion’, and chebole in one as ‘poppy’.
(The conjecture that chesboll = ‘ball of pebbly seeds’, as if the first part were chesil, OE. ceosel, has no basis in fact.)]
A poppy; particularly the Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum).
