单词 pulmonaria
释义

pulmonarian.

Brit. /ˌpʌlməˈnɛːrɪə/, U.S. /ˌpəlməˈnɛriə/
Forms:

α. 1500s– pulmonaria.

β. 1600s pulmonary (rare).

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin pulmonaria.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin pulmonaria (from 14th cent. in British sources), in scientific Latin also as genus name (Linnaeus 1735: see note below), use as noun (short for herba pulmonaria pulmonary plant) of feminine of classical Latin pulmōnārius in its post-classical Latin sense ‘beneficial to the lungs’ (see pulmonary adj.); the plant was so called from its assumed property of curing diseases of the lungs, as supposedly indicated by the spotted leaves resembling the lungs. Compare Middle French, French pulmonaire (15th cent. in an apparently isolated attestation, subsequently from 1572), Spanish pulmonaria (1515), Italian polmonaria (1549; also pulmonaria ), all in sense ‘lungwort’. Compare earlier lungwort n. 3.With the β. forms compare -y suffix3.
Originally: the plant lungwort, Pulmonaria officinalis. Later also: any of various plants of the genus Pulmonaria (family Boraginaceae) to which this plant belongs, comprising perennial herbaceous plants with hairy leaves and pink, blue, or purple bell-shaped flowers; esp. P. officinalis, now often grown as an ornamental for its flowers and white-spotted leaves. Also (in form Pulmonaria): the genus itself. Cf. lungwort n. 3.Valid publication of the genus name: Linnaeus Species Plantarum (1735) I. 135.
