Brit.

/ˌanəˈkampsərəʊt/, U.S.

/ˌænəˈkæmpsəˌroʊt/

Forms:

α. 1600s anacampseros.

β. 1600s– anacampserote.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French anacampseros; French anacampsérote; Latin anacampserōt-, anacampserōs.

Etymology: In α. forms (i) < Middle French anacampseros (1562 in Du Pinet's translation of Pliny; French †anacampséros subsequently from mid 18th cent.) and its etymon (ii) classical Latin anacampserōs (see below). In β. forms < (iii) Middle French, French anacampsérote (1553 in Rabelais) and its etymon (ii) classical Latin anacampserōt-, anacampserōs (Pliny) < Hellenistic Greek ἀνακαμψέρωτ- , ἀνακαμψέρως herb said to bring back love (Plutarch) < ancient Greek ἀνακάμπτειν to bend back ( < ἀνα- ana- prefix + κάμπτειν to bend: see phonocamptic adj.) + ἔρως love (see Eros n.).In the 18th cent. the classical Latin word was adopted into scientific Latin as Anacampseros, the name of two separate genera of plants (P. Miller (1754) and Linnaeus (1758)), with the Linnaean name persisting in modern use for a genus of succulent perennials native to South Africa.

Chiefly historical. Now rare.

A plant believed to have the power to restore lost love.

1601 P. Holland tr. Pliny Hist. World II. xxiv. xvii. 204 A famous Grammarian of late daies made mention of another hearb Anacampseros, of this vertue, That if a man touched a woman therewith, were shee departed from him in all the hatred that might bee, shee would come again and love him entirely.

1840 Irish Penny Jrnl. 1 203/1 The full force of its influence depended on a charm which the Midwife had learned among the fairies. Whether it was the Anacampserotes of the middle ages or not, is difficult to say.

1946 J. T. Shipley in W. S. Knickerbocker 20th Cent. Eng. ii. 137 One might wish for the power—as of anacampserote: that which brings back departed love!—to summon them [sc. words] from faded tomes into current usage.
