单词 basil
释义

basiln.1

/ˈbazɪl/
Forms: Middle English (basilicon), basile, 1500s basyle, basyll, bazil, bassel, 1500s–1600s basill, 1500s– basil.
Etymology: < Old French basile, < Latin basilisca , < basiliscus basilisk n.: the Greek name of the plant was βασιλικὸν ‘royal,’ whence the botanical specific name basilicum, perhaps because the herb was used ‘in some royal unguent, bath, or medicine’ (Prior). In Latin this seems to have been confused with basiliscus, on the supposition that it was an antidote to the basilisk's venom: in Old French, basile, basilicoq, basilique, and in modern French, basilic are applied both to the serpent and the plant.
Herbalism.
1. Popular name of a genus ( Ocymum, family Labiatæ) of aromatic, shrubby plants, with flowers arranged in whorled racemes, widely dispersed in tropical and subtropical countries. The best-known species are the culinary herbs, Common or Sweet Basil ( O. basilicum) and Bush or Lesser Basil ( O. minimum), the leaves of which are used for seasoning soups and made dishes.
