Brit.

/ˈhɑrtˌrut/

Forms:

α. see heart n. and root n.¹

β. Middle English hertis rote, 1600s hearts root, 1600s– heart's root.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: heart n., root n.¹

Etymology: < heart n. + root n.¹ In α. forms probably originally reflecting a genitive compound with unmarked first element (see discussion at heart n.). In β. forms < the genitive of heart n. + root n.¹With sense 1 compare Old English heortan wyrttruma , heortan wyrttruman (lit. ‘the root(s) of the heart’), in sense ‘the bottom of the heart’ (compare quot. OE² at heart n. 6a). In sense 4b, after German Herzwurzel (1897 or earlier in this specific sense, in M. Büsgen Bau u. Leben unserer Waldbäume 153; earlier in related uses).

1. The source of a person's most profound emotions; the bottom of the heart. Also in plural in same sense. Cf. heart n. 6a, root n.¹ 8a. Now poetic and rare.
