Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin germandra.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin germandra, germandrea (from 13th cent. in British sources), apparently a variant (of unexplained motivation) of gamandrea , gamandria (in an undated glossary; > German gamander , Dutch gamander ), ultimately < Hellenistic Greek χαμαίδρυς , literally ‘ground oak’ < ancient Greek χαμαί on the ground (see chamae- comb. form) + δρῦς oak (see dryad n.). Compare Anglo-Norman and Middle French germandree (12th cent. in Old French; French germandrée).The Hellenistic Greek χαμαίδρυς was also borrowed regularly into classical Latin as chamaedrȳs, whence Old French camedree (second half of the 13th cent.; Middle French chamadris, French †chamedrée, rare and learned), Spanish camedrio (15th cent. as camedreo), Italian camedrio (a1498).
Frequently with distinguishing word. Any of the plants constituting the genus Teucrium (family Lamiaceae ( Labiatae)), comprising aromatic shrubs and subshrubs native chiefly to Mediterranean regions, with tubular pink to purple flowers often with a prominent lower lip; esp. (more fully common or wall germander) T. chamaedrys, an evergreen shrub with bright pink flowers, formerly used medicinally and now commonly grown as an ornamental. Also (usually with distinguishing word): any of several speedwells (genus Veronica) (now only in compounds (see Compounds)).In early quots. the exact plant intended is not always clear.In quot. 1864 with reference to the blue colour of the flowers of germander speedwell, Veronica chamaedrys.garlic, rock, tree, water, wood germander, etc.: see the first element.
