turmericn.adj.

/ˈtəːmərɪk/

Forms: 1500s tarmaret, tormarith, tormarthe, tormerik, tormeryke, turmirick, 1500s–1600s turmericke (1600s turn-merick, turmerocke, turmerack, termarcke, tarmanick, tarmaluk), 1600s–1800s turmerick, 1700s– turmeric.

Etymology: Origin obscure. The English forms vary greatly, but tarmaret, tormarith resemble a recorded French terre mérite and medieval or modern Latin terra merita ‘deserving or deserved earth’, a name which the powder is said by Littré to have borne in commerce. The reason and origin of this Latin and French appellation are obscure; but in English the final t appears (by scribal error, or phonetic differentiation, or influence of such words as arsenic) to have become c or k, with the second r sometimes changed to l or n. Some have suggested a corruption of the Persian-Arabic name kurkum ‘saffron’, whence Latin curcuma, French curcuma, and Spanish curcuma; but the change seems too unlikely. The application of the name in English to Tormentil arose apparently from some real or fancied similarity of properties or uses. (Littré has s.v. Curcuma ‘safran des Indes et curcuma, dite terre-mérite, quand elle est réduite en poudre’. Hatzfeld & Darmesteter have also, s.v. Curcuma, Du Pinet, 16th cent. in Delbœuf Recueil ‘La curcuma ou terra merita des apothicaires’.)

A. n.

a. The aromatic and pungent root-stock of an East Indian plant (see A. 2), or the powder made of this, the chief ingredient in curry powder, used also in dyeing yellow, and as a chemical test, and in the East as a condiment and medicinally; also called curcuma (curcuma n. b).
