Forms: 1500s oleandre, 1500s– oleander.

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Latin. Or (ii) a borrowing from French. Etymons: Latin oleandrum; French oléandre.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin oleandrum, oliandrum, accusative (14th cent.) or Middle French, French oléandre (1314 in Old French), of uncertain origin. Compare Italian oleandro (1499), Spanish eloendro (1787, rare), Portuguese alandro (17th cent.), aloendro, eloendro (1701), loendro (1890), scientific Latin oleander, specific epithet (1753 in Linnaeus), early modern German Oleander (16th cent., German Oleander; > Swedish oleander).Perhaps ultimately from forms such as post-classical Latin lorandrum , recorded as an alteration of rhododendron , rhododendrum (in the sense ‘rhododaphne, oleander’: see rhododendron n. 1) by Isidore Origines 17. 7. 54 ‘Rhododendron [v.r. rodandrum ] quod corrupte lorandrum [v.r. laurandrum ] vocatur, quod est foliis lauri similibus, flore ut rosa, arbor venenata’, or post-classical Latin lauriendrum (undated glossary in Du Cange), with loss of initial l (perhaps taken as the definite article in a Romance language) and alteration of the initial syllables after olea olive (see oleaginous adj.) (compare Alphita (a1400) ‘Oliandrum i.e. siluestris olea.’).

1. A poisonous evergreen shrub with leathery lanceolate leaves and fragrant pink or white flowers, Nerium oleander (family Apocynaceae), native from the Mediterranean region eastwards to China and often grown for ornament. Also: a flower of this shrub.sweet oleander: see sweet adj. and adv. Compounds 1b.
