单词 celandine
释义

celandinen.

Brit. /ˈsɛləndʌɪn/, U.S. /ˈsɛlənˌdin/, /ˈsɛlənˌdaɪn/
Forms: Middle English celydoine, celydoyne, Middle English celydon, celydoun, celidoyne, 1500s celidone, celandyne, selandine, zalandyne, Middle English–1600s celondine, sellondine, salandine, sal-, sall-, selendyne, selendine, solydyne, 1500s–1600s celendine, 1600s sellandine, 1700s, 1800s dialect celadine, 1500s– celandine. See also celidony n.1
Etymology: Middle English celydoine, < Old French celidoine < late Latin celidonia, Latin chelidonia (-onium), < Greek χελιδόνιον, < χελιδών swallow. In reference to the name, ancient writers stated that the flower appeared at the time of the arrival of the swallows, and withered at their departure. The story of the use made of the juice by swallows (see quot. 1601 at sense 1a) was probably suggested by the name. For the intrusive n compare messenger, passenger.
1. The name of two distinct plants, bearing yellow flowers; by the old herbalists regarded as species of the same plant, and identified (probably correctly) with the ‘greater and lesser chelidonia’ of ancient writers.
a. Common or Greater Celandine, Chelidonium majus (family Papaveraceæ); called by Lyte swallow-wort. Its thick yellow juice was formerly supposed to be a powerful remedy for weak sight.
