hyacinthn.

Brit.

/ˈhʌɪəsɪnθ/, U.S.

/ˈhaɪəˌsɪnθ/

Forms: Also 1500s hiacinthe, hyacint, 1500s–1600s hiacynth, hyacinthe, 1600s hiacint; see also jacinth n.

Etymology: Ultimately < Greek ὑάκινθος hyacinth (flower and gem), of unknown origin, explained in Greek myth as the name of a youth beloved by Apollo: see sense 2. The earliest forms in English were jacincte , jacynct , jacynth , < Old French jacincte , modern French jacinthe (see jacinth n.); the more classical form (after Latin hyacinthus) was introduced in the 16th cent. (so also French hyacinthe, now antiquated, according to Hatzfeld & Darmesteter). In modern usage the gem is called jacinth and hyacinth, but the latter is the exclusive form for the flower.

1. A precious stone.

2. A plant.

a. Rendering or representing Greek ὑάκινθος, Latin hyacinthus, a name among the ancients for some flower; according to Ovid a deep red or ‘purple’ lily (? Lilium Martagon), but variously taken by authors as a gladiolus, iris, or larkspur. (See Bubani Flora Virgil. 63.) Now historical or poetic.In ancient mythology the flower is said to have sprung up from the blood of the slain youth Hyacinthus, and the ancients thought they could decipher on the petals the letters AI, or AIAI, exclamation of grief (cf. Moschus iii. 6, Ovid. Met. x. 211). Hence many literary allusions; also Linnæus's specific name for the Wild Hyacinth or Bluebell, Hyacinthus non-scriptus.
