Danewortn.

Brit.

/ˈdeɪnwəːt/, U.S.

/ˈdeɪnˌwərt/,

/ˈdeɪnˌwɔrt/

Forms: 1500s danwoort, danewurt, daine-, daynworte, 1500s–1600s danwort, danewoort, 1600s– danewort.

Etymology: < Dane n. + wort n.¹, in accordance with a popular notion that the plant sprang up in places where Danes slaughtered the English or were slaughtered by them.

A name for the Dwarf Elder, Sambucus Ebulus.The name is found in Turner 1538, but only the earlier name Wallwort or Wellewort, Old English wealwyrt, is given in Sinon. Barthol. of 14th cent., and Alphita c1450; Rous also, who died 1491, in relating the legend, has only the name Walwort; so that the names Danewort, Daneweed, Dane's blood, etc. can hardly have belonged to early tradition. While suggested in part by the abundance of the plant at certain spots historically or traditionally associated with slaughter, there was also an element of fanciful etymology in explaining the Latin name Ebulus from ebullire to bubble forth, with reference to the flowing of blood. See also wallwort n.
