Etymology: < (i) Anglo-Norman affadille, Anglo-Norman and Middle French affodille asphodel, sweet woodruff (c1250 in Old French; also in Anglo-Norman denoting ramsons or wild garlic and perhaps also chives); and its etymon (ii) post-classical Latin affodillus (4th cent.; from 11th cent. in British sources), variant of asfodillus (5th cent.), alteration (after formations in -illus : see -illa suffix) of asfodilus (5th cent.), variant of classical Latin asphodelus asphodel n. In later use in sense 2 reborrowed < German Affodill (1577 or earlier; < Middle French affodille and its etymon post-classical Latin affodillus ). Compare Old Occitan afodille (early 13th cent.), afodilh (c1300), Italian asfodelo (c1350 as asfodillo ), and also Dutch affodil , affodille (c1545; 1515 as †affodillus ).
