单词 chaff-weed
释义

chaff-weedn.

/ˈtʃɑːfwiːd//ˈtʃafwiːd/
Etymology: apparently originally the same as chafeweed n. (written chafweed by Turner), but in later times referred to chaff n.1Turner applied chafweed to his ‘Centunculus’, which was Gnaphalium sylvaticum, and to this or the allied Filago the name continued to be applied. But later botanists applied Centunculus to an entirely different plant, to which chaffweed is now attached as an English book-name.
1. = chafeweed n. Obsolete.
2. Centunculus or Bastard Pimpernel.
