passion flowern.

Brit.

/ˈpaʃn ˌflaʊə/, U.S.

/ˈpæʃ(ə)n ˌflaʊ(ə)r/

Forms: see passion n. and flower n.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: passion n., flower n.

Etymology: < passion n. + flower n., after post-classical Latin flos passionis (see quot. 1633). Compare French fleur de la passion (1625 or earlier), Spanish flor de la pasion (1737; more commonly known as pasionaria), German Passionsblume (17th cent.).The flower is native to South America and was probably introduced to Europe from Peru by the Spanish physician Nicolas Monardes (compare monarda n.) after 1569. The parts of the flower were imagined to correspond to the instruments and circumstances of Jesus's Passion: the three stigmas to the nails, the five stamens to the wounds, the corona to the crown of thorns, and the ten perianth segments to the apostles. The lobed leaves and tendrils of the plant were also said to represent the hands and scourges of Jesus's torturers. Compare quot. 1613 and also Monardes' description (under the heading De Granadilla : see granadilla n.):1582 N. Monardes Simplic. Medicament. ex Novo Orbe 17 Elegans est cum fructu onusta conspicitur, propterius amplitudinem, florem habet albæ rosæ persimilem, in cuius foliis aliquæ veluti passionis Christi figuræ delineatæ conspiciuntur.

Any plant of the genus Passiflora (family Passifloraceae), which consists of tropical and subtropical plants (mostly climbing vines), many of which have an edible, pulpy fruit. Also: a flower of any of these plants.
