wortn.1 Origin: A word inherited from Germanic. Etymology: Cognate with Old Dutch wort herb, plant (Middle Dutch wort root, herb), Old Saxon wurt herb, plant, root (Middle Low German wort , wurt ), Old High German wurz root, herb, spice (Middle High German wurz , German Wurz ), Old Icelandic urt , jurt herb (Icelandic jurt ), Norwegian urt , Old Swedish yrt plant (Swedish ört ), Old Danish urt (Danish urt ), Gothic waurts < an ablaut variant (zero-grade) of the Indo-European base of root n.1; compare (with uncertain ablaut) Welsh grwaidd and (with nasal suffix) Early Irish frén, both in sense ‘root’. In English the sense ‘root’ is securely attested only in Old English verse.The β. forms reflect the Old English (West Saxon) development of wyr- to wur- ; in the rare Old English form weort (one isolated attestation) probably showing an inverted spelling for wurt (after the parallel West Saxon development of weor- to wur- ; compare e.g. forms of worth v.1). See further A. Campbell Old Eng. Gram. (1959) §§320–4. The γ. forms partly reflect the Old English (Kentish) development of y to e and probably partly also reflects the reduction of the vowel when (as often) the word formed the (unstressed) second element of a compound. The δ. forms and the current standard spelling probably show a graphic substitution of wo- for wu- (compare β. forms) seen also e.g. in worm n., worse adj., worry v.; as with these words, the current pronunciation reflects underlying u (compare β. forms). With senses 1b, 1c compare Old English wyrtmete dish of herbs, pottage. 1. the world > plants > valued plants and weeds > [noun] > valued plant the world > food and drink > food > fruit and vegetables > vegetables > herb > [noun] the world > health and disease > healing > medicines or physic > medical preparations of specific origin > medicine composed of a plant > [noun] > plant used in medicine eOE King Ælfred tr.

Etymology: Cognate with Middle Low German wert , werte , Old High German wirz unfermented beer, steeped malt (Middle High German wirz unfermented beer, sweet, aromatic liquid, juice, German †Wirz : see note), Old Icelandic virtr (Icelandic virtur , virt ), Norwegian vørter , Swedish vört , Danish urt < a suffixed form of the Germanic base of wort n.1The plural of Middle High German wurz herb, plant, root (see wort n.1) came to be used as a feminine collective noun würze , and fell together with the reflex of wirz steeped malt, unfermented beer, etc. in the 16th cent.; the resulting German noun Würze denotes both ‘spice, seasoning, piquancy, aroma’ and ‘steeped malt, unfermented beer’. In English the word was probably influenced by wort n.1 from early on, although rounding after initial w- could be expected to lead to partial homonymy as a phonological development in any case.
