Etymology: Occurs also in the Walloon dialect of Rouchy, ‘darnelle, ivraie, lolium temulentum’; ulterior history unknown.
1.
a. A deleterious grass, Lolium temulentum, which in some countries grows as a weed among corn.Known first as the English name for the lolium of the Vulgate: see cockle n.1 1a. The grass is now rare in England, but appears to have been much more common formerly when seed-corn was largely imported from the Mediterranean regions, where the weed abounds. It is now held to be deleterious only when infested by ergot, to which it is particularly liable.
