Forms: Old English maluwe, Old English mealewe, Old English mealuwe, Old English mealwe, Middle English malewe, Middle English malons (plural, transmission error), Middle English maloo, Middle English maloys (plural), Middle English malue, Middle English malve, Middle English malwe, Middle English melwe, Middle English–1500s malew, Middle English–1500s malous (plural), Middle English–1500s malow, Middle English–1500s malowe, 1500s mallo, 1500s–1600s mallowe, 1500s– mallow; Scottish pre-1700 malvis (plural), pre-1700 malwes (plural), pre-1700 malwis (plural).

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin malva.

Etymology: < classical Latin malva malva n. Compare maul n.², maw n.²In quot. 1611¹ at sense 1 translating Hebrew mallūaḥ in uncertain sense (perhaps ‘sea orache’), owing to the similarity in sound (see malva n.); the Revised English Bible reads ‘saltwort’.

1. (Formerly also plural, with singular agreement.) Originally (more fully common mallow, wild mallow, or field mallow): a common European plant of waysides and waste places, Malva sylvestris, with showy, deeply notched, rose-purple flowers, widespread in Britain. Later more widely (frequently with distinguishing word, as curled, dwarf, musk-mallow, etc.): any of various plants of the genus Malva, characteristically having palmately divided leaves and flowers in various shades of purple. Also (with distinguishing word): any of various plants of the same family, Malvaceae (French, Indian, tree mallow, etc.), or (rare) otherwise thought to resemble a mallow in appearance or consistency (Jew's mallow: see Jew n.).
