amomumn.

/əˈməʊməm/

Forms: Rarely in 1600s amomus.

Etymology: < Latin amōmum, < Greek ἄμωμον applied to some, perhaps several, oriental spice plants.

An odoriferous plant. The Amomum of the ancients not being certainly identified, the word was used with uncertain denotation by earlier writers; it is now appropriated to a genus of aromatic plants (family Zingiberaceæ) including the species which yield Cardamoms and Grains of Paradise.
