Brit.

/ˈadəz ˌtʌŋ/, U.S.

/ˈædərz ˌtəŋ/

Forms:

α. late Middle English adder tong, late Middle English adder tung, late Middle English edder tonge, late Middle English eddyr tonge, late Middle English neddre tung, 1500s 1800s– adder tongue.

β. late Middle English adders tong', late Middle English addirs tunge, late Middle English eddres tungge, late Middle English nedderis tonge, late Middle English neddres tungge, 1500s adders tonge, 1500s adders toong, 1600s 1900s– adders tongue, 1700s– adder's tongue, 1800s adders' tongue, 1800s– edder's tongue (English regional (Cumberland)).

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: adder n.¹, tongue n.

Etymology: In α. forms < adder n.¹ + tongue n., perhaps originally reflecting a genitive compound with unmarked first element (the reflex of the Old English weak genitive nǣdran ). In β. forms < the genitive of adder n.¹ + tongue n. Compare Dutch addertong Ophioglossum (1554 in Dodoens in natertonghesken (with diminutive suffix)), German Natterzunge (beginning of the 15th cent. as nater zunge), Natternzunge (15th cent. as natern zung), both earliest in sense ‘dragon arum’, now in sense ‘Ophioglossum’.

1. Any of various plants used medicinally in the treatment of snakebites, or thought to resemble a snake's tongue in some way.In Middle English the name was apparently used for a number of plants including the yellow star of Bethlehem, Gagea lutea, the dragon arum, Dracunculus vulgaris, and the yellow pimpernel, Lysimachia nemorum.
