starthistlen.

Brit.

/ˌstɑːˈθɪsl/, U.S.

/ˈstɑrˌθɪs(ə)l/

Forms: see star n.¹ and thistle n.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a Dutch lexical item. Etymons: star n.¹, thistle n.

Etymology: < star n.¹ + thistle n., after either Dutch sterredistel (1554 in Dodoens) or post-classical Latin carduus stellatus (1561 or earlier), with reference to the starlike arrangement of the spines. Compare German Sterndistel (1572 or earlier).

Any of various herbaceous, thistle-like plants of the genus Centaurea (family Asteraceae), having yellow or purple flowers and tough, sharp spines on the phyllaries, esp. C. calcitrapa or C. solstitialis; (occasionally) any plant of this genus. Also with distinguishing word. Starthistles are native to the northern hemisphere but are now widely naturalized and regarded as invasive, noxious weeds in regions where they have been introduced.
