单词 honewort
释义

honewortn.

Brit. /ˈhəʊnwəːt/, U.S. /ˈhoʊnˌwərt/, /ˈhoʊnˌwɔrt/
Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: hone n.3, wort n.1
Etymology: Apparently < hone n.3 + wort n.1, because corn parsley (see sense (a)) was used as a remedy for such swellings, although it is possible that the tradition reported in quots. 1633 at this entry and 1633 at hone n.3 reflects a folk etymology.
Any of several umbelliferous plants, esp. of (or formerly of) the genus Sison: (a) corn parsley, Petroselinum segetum (more fully corn honewort); (b) stone parsley, S. amomum (more fully hedge honewort); (c) either of two leafy perennials of the genus Cryptotaenia, C. canadensis of North America, and mitsuba, C. japonica, both used to flavour food; (d) a low-growing biennial, Trinia glauca (formerly also called T. glaberrima), of limestone areas in Europe.
