hemlockn.

Brit.

/ˈhɛmlɒk/, U.S.

/ˈhɛmˌlɑk/

Forms: α. Old English hymlice, hymlic, hemlic, Middle English hemeluc, Middle English hem(e)lok, 1500s hemlake, 1500s–1600s hemlocke, 1600s hemloc, hemblock, 1500s– hemlock. β. Middle English humlok(e, humblok, homeluk, homelok, 1500s humlocke, homlo(k)ke, homlock(e, homblocke, Middle English–1800s (dialect) humlock.

Etymology: Old English hymlice weak feminine, hymlic, hemlic, strong masculine; of obscure origin: no cognate word is found in the other languages. The form hym- is apparently the original, that in hem- being Kentish. The later hum-, hom-, probably come < hym-; the ordinary form in modern Scots is humlo'.

a. The common name of Conium maculatum, a poisonous umbelliferous plant, having a stout branched stem with purplish spots, finely divided leaves, and small white flowers; it is used medicinally as a powerful sedative.

b. Also in rural use applied to the large Umbelliferæ generally: in south of Scotland esp. to Angelica sylvestris, and to Heracleum sphondylium, ‘Hairy Humlo’.It is not clear how far back these uses go. The Old English hymlice was a medicinal plant (probably Conium); but the Middle English the plant is chiefly referred to as a weed; the definite references to it as poisonous appear to begin with the 16th cent. herbalists.
