rhodoran.

Brit.

/rə(ʊ)ˈdɔːrə/, U.S.

/rəˈdɔrə/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin rhodora.

Etymology: < the supposed classical Latin form rhodora, corrupt form of the name of a Gallic plant (not identified) described in Pliny Nat. Hist. 24. 172 (see quot. 1601); however, in the text of Pliny, rhodoram (the accusative form in which this word appears) is now regarded as a false reading for rōdarum . In sense 2 after scientific Latin Rhodora, which shows adoption of this name as a genus name by Linnaeus in his Species Plantarum (ed. 2, 1763) 561; Linnaeus's adoption probably arose from a mistaken association with ancient Greek ῥόδον rose (see rhodo- comb. form).

†1. A plant with nettle-shaped leaves (not identified and perhaps apocryphal). Obsolete. rare.

1601 P. Holland tr. Pliny Hist. World II. xxiv. xix. 205 There groweth a certain herb, which in Fraunce they call Rhodora: it riseth up with a stem pointed and knotted in manner of a figtree rod or wand; beareth leaves resembling nettles, somwhat whitish in the mids, but the same in processe of time become red all over; and a floure of silver colour.

1731 N. Bailey Universal Etymol. Eng. Dict. II. (ed. 2) at cited word Rhodora (Bot.), a Plant that bears a leaf like a nettle, and a flower like a rose.

2. An azalea, Rhododendron canadense, native to swamps and moist woodland in north-eastern North America and cultivated elsewhere, which bears short-tubed rose-purple flowers in early spring before its leaves emerge. Also rhodora azalea.This plant was placed by Linnaeus in a genus of its own as Rhodora canadensis.
