bedeguar|ˈbɛdɪgə(r)|
Also -gar, -gaur, -guar,
[a. F. bédeguar, bédegar, ad. ult. Pers. (and Arab.) bādāwar, -ard, lit. ‘wind-brought,’ according to the Burhani Kati ‘a thorny bush with a white flower, resembling the thistle.’ Thence sense 1. Later writers seem to have fancifully attributed to the word a derivation from Pers. bād wind, breath + Arab. ward ‘rose,’ and applied it to something growing on the rose. Gerard of Cremona, in his Synonymy (1481) explains bedegar both ways, by ‘spina alba vel odor rosæ’ (Devic).]
