Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin lachryma Christi.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin lachryma Christi, denoting a kind of wine (see definition; 1518 or earlier), lit. ‘tear of Christ’ < classical Latin lachryma tear (see lachryma n.) + Chrīstī , genitive of Chrīstus Christ n. Compare French lacrima Christi , lacryma Christi (1534 in Middle French as lachrima Christi ), Italian lacrima Christi (1640), also lagrime di Cristo (a1611 or earlier: see note; now rare), lagrima Cristi (first half of the 19th cent. or earlier). In β. forms reflecting the plural of classical Latin lachryma . Compare Lacrima n.The wine is probably so called with allusion to an old legend according to which, as Christ was weeping over Lucifer's fall from heaven, his tears fell on the earth and caused vines to grow there; perhaps compare also the view (common in medieval Christian authors, e.g. in St Bernard of Clairvaux) that tears are the wine of the angels. Compare the following (apparently isolated) unassimilated borrowing of Italian lagrime di Cristo :1611 T. Coryate Crudities sig. Yv Their Lagryme di Christo;..so toothsome and delectable to the taste. Forms with -g- in the first element show remodelling by association with Italian lagrima tear (see Lacrima n.) or, in form Lagrima Cristi at α. forms, remodelling directly after Italian lagrima Cristi.
A wine from Campania in southern Italy, made in sparkling, white, rosé, and red varieties from grapes originally grown on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius.
