单词 chafeweed
释义

chafeweedchaffweedn.

Etymology: According to Turner and other early writers, < chafe n. + weed n.1; see quot. 1551: otherwise it might be plausibly explained < chaff n.1 and weed n.1, in reference to the chaffy receptacle of Filago.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈchafeweed.
Herbalism.
A name given by Turner to the plant Gnaphalium sylvaticum; extended by Gerard to other species of Gnaphalium and the allied Filago; applied by some especially to F. germanica, the chafewort n. of Turner. (By Lyte erroneously applied to Diotis maritima, the Sea Daisy.)
ΘΚΠ
the world > plants > particular plants > plants and herbs > according to family > Compositae (composite plants) > [noun] > cudweeds
