单词 horehound
释义

horehoundn.

/ˈhɔːrhaʊnd/
Forms: Old English háre húne, ( háran húnan), Middle English horehune, Middle English horehoune, Middle English horho(w)ne, haarhounde, Middle English–1500s horehounde, 1500s– horehound, 1700s– hoarhound.
Etymology: Old English háre húne, < hár hoar, hoary + húne name of a plant, of uncertain origin; thence Middle English hôrhowne, altered by popular etymology to horehound, which puts some appearance of meaning into the second element. The analogical spelling is hoar-, but this is much less usual in England than hore-.
1.
a. A labiate herb, Marrubium vulgare, having stem and leaves covered with white cottony pubescence; its aromatic bitter juice is much used as a remedy for coughs, etc. Hence extended to several allied herbs (see 1b), horehound proper being then distinguished as horehound common or white horehound.
