† alypumn.

Forms: 1600s 1800s alypon, 1500s–1800s alypum, 1600s alypus.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin alypon.

Etymology: < classical Latin alypon (probably) gutwort, Globularia alypum (Pliny; in post-classical Latin also alypum (16th cent. or earlier)) < Hellenistic Greek ἄλυπον (Dioscorides), use as noun of neuter of ancient Greek ἄλυπος painless ( < ἀ- a- prefix⁶ + λύπη pain, grief: see lypemania n.), so called on account of the anodyne properties of the plant. With the form alypus compare post-classical Latin alypos, denoting a kind of spurge (4th cent.), also < ancient Greek ἄλυπος.

historical. Obsolete.

A bitter-tasting plant used as a purgative, usually identified with either the southern European gutwort, Globularia alypum, or a kind of spurge (genus Euphorbia).
