Etymology: < classical Latin alcea kind of mallow (Pliny; also in scientific Latin as Alcea , genus name of the hollyhock (Linnaeus 1753)) < Hellenistic Greek ἀλκαία kind of mallow, use as noun of feminine of ancient Greek ἀλκαῖος , adjective < ἀλκή strength, defence (see analcime n.) + -αῖος, suffix forming adjectives. Compare French alcée malvaceous plant (1694)).Quote c1440 may show a transmission error for altea , variant of althea n. Compare Middle French alcee marsh mallow, also perhaps a transmission error (14th cent. in an apparently isolated attestation as a manuscript variant of altee).
