/ˌdɪdʒᵻˈteɪlɪs/, U.S.

/ˌdɪdʒᵻˈtæləs/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin; modelled on a German lexical item. Etymon: Latin digitalis.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin digitalis foxglove ( L. Fuchs De historia stirpium (1542) cccxlii. 893; < classical Latin digitālis measuring a finger's breadth: see digital adj.), after German Fingerhut thimble (13th cent. as fingarhuot ), plant of the genus Digitalis (with reference to the shape of the flowers: 1542 or earlier as fingerhuot ; < Finger finger n. + Hut hood n.¹). Compare post-classical Latin digitale fingerstall or thimble (1328, 1483 in British sources), and also French digitale plant of the genus Digitalis (1545 in Middle French).

1. Botany. Any plant of the chiefly Eurasian genus Digitalis (family Plantaginaceae) comprising biennials and perennials having alternate leaves with spikes of drooping tubular flowers; esp. the common foxglove D. purpurea, cultivated in gardens and used as a source of digitalis (see sense 2). Also (in form Digitalis): the genus itself.Valid publication of the genus name: Linnaeus Species Plantarum (1753) II. 621.

1568 W. Turner Herbal iii. 16 It is named of some in Latine, Digitalis.]

1629 J. Parkinson Paradisi in Sole xcvii. 383 Onely the name Digitalis is of all writers giuen vnto these plants... Wee call them generally in English, Foxegloue.

1666 J. Evelyn Kalendarium Hortense (ed. 2) 38 Sow divers Annuals..as double Marigolds, Digitalis, Delphinium.

1789 E. Darwin Bot. Garden: Pt. II ii. 78 Assumes bright Digitalis' dress and air.

1815 N.Y. Med. Mag. 1 343 I directed..that a decoction should be made of two drachms of the dried leaves of digitalis in six ounces of water.

1850 Florist Aug. 204 Digitalis is more robust, growing upwards of three feet high in good soil, and has white flowers.

1909 E. Warming Oecol. Plants liii. 216 There are..many species of Prunella, Digitalis, and Campanula.

1996 Seattle Post-Intelligencer (Nexis) 18 June (Lifestyle section) 2 The so-called digitalis plant sends up spires of white, pink and purple blossoms that you have to admire.

2001 Amer. Jrnl. Bot. 88 1751/1 As other Digitalis species, it contains cardiac glycosides, widely used in some heart-failure diseases.

2. A medicinal preparation made from leaves or other parts of plants of the genus Digitalis (chiefly D. purpurea and D. lanata), and used in the treatment of certain types of heart disease.The cardiac glycosides contained in digitalis have two principal effects on the heart: they increase the force of contraction and slow the conduction of the cardiac impulse, esp. through the atrioventricular node. They are thus most useful in the treatment of congestive heart failure and tachycardia of atrial origin.Digitalis is sometimes used as a general term for these glycosides, esp. digoxin and digitoxin, which are now preferred for therapeutic use.
