单词 elecampane
释义

elecampanen.

/ˌɛlɪkamˈpeɪn/
Forms: 1500s ely-, ( alecampane, alacompane, heli-, hilicampana), 1500s–1600s elicampane, 1600s elecampana, elecompane, elecampany, elicumpany, helicampane, elcampane, 1700s elecampain, (1800s elicampene, alycompaine, alicompayne, allicampane), 1500s– elecampane. Also 1500s–1700s enulacampana, 1600s enulacampane.
Etymology: corruptly < medieval Latin enula compāna. The noun enula is a late form of the classical Latin inula. The pseudo-Apuleius (4th cent.) and later writers identify the plant with the helenium described by Pliny; hence Linnæus adopted helenium as the specific name. In Old English inula was (corruptly) adopted as eolone ( < earlier *iluna). The adjective campana may mean ‘Campanian’, or it may have the late sense ‘of the fields’; the latter interpretation was current in 14th cent., as Glanvil distinguishes two species, hortulana and campana.
1. A perennial composite plant, Horse-heal ( Inula Helenium), with very large yellow radiate flowers and bitter aromatic leaves and root; formerly used as a tonic and stimulant.
