Etymology: < classical Latin althaea marsh mallow (Pliny; in post-classical Latin also altea (6th cent.)) < Hellenistic Greek ἀλθαία marsh mallow < the stem of ancient Greek ἀλθαίνειν to heal (ultimately < the same Indo-European base as classical Latin alere to nourish: see aliment n.) + -ία -ia suffix¹; so called on account of the healing properties of the plant. Compare Middle French altee marsh mallow (a1374; French althée, althaea plant of the genus Althaea), Old Occitan altea (14th cent.), Spanish altea (13th cent.; c1100 as altiyya), Portuguese alteia (1661 as althea), Italian altea (c1340), and also Middle Dutch altoe (Dutch althaea), German Althee, Altee (14th cent. as altē).

Any plant of, or formerly of, the Eurasian genus Althaea (family Malvaceae), comprising herbaceous perennial plants which include the marsh mallow, A. officinalis, the hollyhock, Alcea rosea, and (more fully shrub althea) the widely cultivated hibiscus Hibiscus syriacus. Also (in form Althaea): the genus itself.Valid publication of the genus name: H. J. N. Crantz Stirpium Austriacarum (1769) 144.
