单词 peganite
释义

peganiten.

Brit. /ˈpɛɡənʌɪt/, U.S. /ˈpɛɡəˌnaɪt/
Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Peganit.
Etymology: < German Peganit (A. Breithaupt 1830, in Jrnl. f. Chem. u. Physik 60 308) < ancient Greek πήγανον rue (the herb, of uncertain origin: see note), with reference to its colour + German -it -ite suffix1.Ancient Greek πήγανον is derived by Plutarch ( Moralia 647 b) from πηγνύναι to fix, make solid (see pectic adj.), and this etymology is accepted by many modern scholars, a possible explanation being that one of the supposed properties of rue was to coagulate blood. It has also been suggested, perhaps more plausibly, that the word is a loanword. The suffix is seen in a number of other plant names, e.g. λάχανον (see lachanopolist n.).
