sassafrasn.

Brit.

/ˈsasəfras/, U.S.

/ˈsæs(ə)ˌfræs/

Forms: Also 1600s saxefras, sasafras, sassa-, saxa-, sarsafrax, 1600s–1700s sassafrass, 1700s–1800s saxafras.

Etymology: < Spanish sasafras (whence Portuguese sassafraz, salsafraz, French, German and modern Latin sassafras. It is doubtful whether the Spanish word is a transferred application (which, indeed, would be difficult to account for) of a Spanish representation of Latin saxifraga saxifrage n., or whether it was adopted from some American language; in the latter case the American word seems to have influenced the form of the Spanish name for saxifrage, which according to the native lexicographers has the forms saxifraga, -fragia, -fragua, salsifragia, salsifrex, saxafrax. The Spanish writer Monardes (1571) regards the Spanish name as adopted < French, which seems unlikely; he gives the North American Indian name as pauame.

a. A small tree, Sassafras officinale (N.O. Laurineæ), also called Sassafras Laurel and Ague-tree, with green apetalous flowers and dimorphous leaves, native in North America, where it is said to have been discovered by the Spanish in 1528.The name is frequently applied (chiefly with defining word) to trees of other genera which have similar medicinal properties; e.g. Australian sassafras n. (or Tasmanian sassafras) ( Atherosperma moschata) see plume nutmeg n. at plume n. Compounds 2; Brazilian sassafras n. ( Nectandra Puchury) see pichurim n.; Cayenne sassafras n. ( Laurelia sempervirens); oriental sassafras n. ( Sassafras Parthenoxylon); swamp sassafras n. ( Magnolia glauca).
