A plant of the parsley family which has burr-like fruit.

- Although she applied a fresh astringent of sanicle when she changed my bandages, the carrion trapped in the dewclaw infected the wound and it healed badly.

Origin
Late Middle English: via Old French from medieval Latin sanicula, perhaps from Latin sanus 'healthy'.
